Today was an easy going day. We got up early and drove to Virginia City. Of course since we are early birds, nothing was open yet and we walked around until the stores opened at 10am. This reminded me of a smaller “Gatlinburg” or “Chimney Rock” that we go to on the east coast. It sure looks a lot different than it did 17 years ago. The most exciting/awful thing happened when a little old lady fell from the sidewalk and stopped herself with her face into a car. Her nose looked broken and I felt so bad for her. The boardwalk through t
own was uneven and tough for elderly so I don’t know if she tripped on a board or slid off the side but at least she didn’t break an arm, leg, or hip. The other lady with her got her into the passenger seat of the car and they left. Then we found out there was a train ride at 11:20 and it was the only ride for the day so we went on a 35 minute train ride on the Virginia & Truckee Railroad for $8 per person.When we left Virginia City, we headed to Carson City. Before we left this morning I downloaded podcasts called Talking Houses that told about historical places in Carson City. Then we went to a casino to eat a buffet lunch. We aren’t big gamblers so we just looked at the casinos and didn’t spend anything there. When we left there, we headed back to Reno and walked around the casinos. Finally we went to the Copper Ledge in Cal-Neva Casino to eat a prime rib dinner for $8.95 and it was delicious!

I've always heard that the casino meals are really good but it is hard to believe that they can put out a good meal fro so little. I am glad that you are enjoying it.
And we've known each other for a pretty long time. I got married in July 2000, and started at MHS in August. We met soon after. And you've been around for some of the really big (or little depending on how you view the girls at birth) stuff. :)
