Anniversary Trip

For our anniversary this year, we chose to stay close to home. It was hard just getting the time off together so we wanted to maximize every minute together. We ended up staying in Reno and doing various activities in either Reno or Lake Tahoe.


To start our trip off we had massages booked at Ahhh Massage in Sparks. It was a couples massage session so we were able to be in the same room together while we got nice and relaxed.



If you've never had a massage you should get one! They are wonderful!


After getting relaxed, it was time for dinner. One of our favorite places to eat isn't a national chain and often times, we forget to eat there. Not this trip! We had dinner at Pinocchio's.


They have site in both Sparks, just down the road from the massage place and in Reno, on Moana.

The food was great!


After dinner we decided to head over and check into our hotel.

Dwayne had booked us a nice suite with two separate rooms, tvs, fridge etc.


The only thing about it was the height of the ceiling and door frames. They were short! Well too short for D, all he had to do was turn his head up and he could touch the door frame. After we checked in, we went and did a little shopping, had some dessert and then turned back in for the night.

The second day we planned to spend in Tahoe. We got ready and drove over to Carson where I first had to take a test, boo, I know, but then we drove on up the mountain.

Look! An action shot! This is us literally driving up the hill....hope he's looking at the road under those sunglasses!


Heavenly has gondolas that run to the top of the mountain with skiers during the winter. During the off season it still takes people to the top and Dwayne had really wanted to take the ride so, we bought our tickets and took our ride.

See the trees going by?


At the top there was a photographer to take your picture for souvenirs.


So of course we got them!

We were at the first stop of the ride. It was an observation deck where you could look all around the area. It was beautiful!

It had snowed but it was really warm on this day and we were very comfortable just walking around

Four years of marriage and another fabulous anniversary!

Getting closer...


The last day we went around town and saw a movie, did a little more shopping and then headed home. At one stoplight we shot this picture, this is our gangsta' look! Another great time together. Next year's anniversary will be spent in Rome and Germany and we are so excited!
