I hadn't seen my family, other than my mom and her husband, since Thanksgiving. That is a long time! So, we all decided to meet up in Reno for a little family reunion. Now, one might wonder why would a family meet up in Reno of all places? That is a great question. Well, the answer is. My dad has a little bit of a gambling habit and the
Peppermill in Reno likes it when he comes to visit. They like it so much that they are willing to pay for our entire family's flights, give us rooms for
free, and pay for our food, drinks and spa services while we are there. My dad always gets the
Safari Adventure Suite too. It is an over the top room complete with a life-size stuffed rhino, an elephant head over the 10 person hot tub in the middle of the living room, 5 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, two bars and a pool table.
Needless to say, we had an absolutely amazing time! The first night I stayed up until 4 am. I can't remember the last time I stayed up until 4 am. I hit up the arcades with the little ones and showed off my skills on Dance, Dance Revolution - I am really bad! And then gambled for a bit. I ended that night up $200. Not too bad. Then at 3 am I was starving so we ordered some
omelets! It was a blast. Day two we laid by the pool and took advantage of the beautiful new spa. And that night some of us hit up the Foreigner concert. That will be a blog all its own! After that more time at the arcade with the little ones and more time at the tables in the casino. Sunday was spent also by the pool, I have the red sun burn to
prove it, and then a little more time at the tables. That is when I lost the $200 I had won on night one.
My favorite part about the trip was the mornings. Every morning we would all gather in my dad's room, sit in the hot tub and order breakfast via room service. It was so nice to have everyone together, in one place, without distractions and just catching up about life. The funniest part about the whole trip was that Jeff was also in Reno, but on a different vacation. He was on a "mancation" with his buddies! Hilarious. Taking separate vacations to the same city, just another day in my
Life As A Wife.
