Mythbustin'

Okay, so when I say my parents live in Nevada, people usually picture Las Vegas. Warm, desertyness, and casinos. They live near Reno, which is way North and yes, it's desertful and has lots of casinos, but the warm part only applies in the Summer. Reno is surrounded by mountains and is near Lake Tahoe (skiing, yo.) so, yeah. This picture was taken on the way from Reno to Carson City and is in an area called the Washoe valley. So, yeah. Thanks, friends, for wishing me a break from the cold but it's only a relative break since the Reno area is more like in the 30's as opposed to Kansas City's current single digits. I'll take it, but it's not like I'm in Vegas. *wink* We had a great day. My parents bought a new piece of furniture so we all went to Reno to pick it up, so we had lunch at In-N-Out Burger (aw yeah!) then my mom and I took the girls to Barnes and Noble. I love hanging out in bookstores. I got myself Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for the plane ride home. I've been dying (ha ha!) to read this one, so it should be great. Maybe I'll pick up Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters after I finish. This evening we went to my grandparent's house and had dinner then played a friendly game of Apples to Apples Junior (so the girls could participate). My dad teamed up with Bri and they had the most cards at this one point, and Bri was flashing them around in a smug manner, so Lynette said, "You're a real punk." And Bri came back with, "No I'm not. I'm the WINNER." She takes after someone we all know...
