Floating Into Reno
My wife and I were on vacation this last week. Most of it was surrounding our drive to the Redwoods in California [which I will blog about once I get my gazillion photos and videos organized.. yeah, it may be a while longer], but leading up to our 2nd anniversary. We got married in Lake Tahoe and thought it would be nice to spend our day at least somewhat close to that city, choosing Reno, NV for a couple of days.
Our Room
We had two nights free, thanks to signing up for mailings at the Peppermill in Wendover, NV. Our room was better than we expected. Here’s proof:

Our bed and the rest of the suite
There’s even a TV in the bathroom

Pretty damn suite… he he. Needless to say, we enjoyed a nice room.
Lunch With A Princess
Our anniversary was on Monday, June 21st [the first day of summer] and we enjoyed each and every minute of it. – including meeting up for lunch with Lisa of Floating Princess at the Peppermill. We talked, ate and took pictures – including a cameo appearance by Cooper Trooper.

Marty and Lisa
I met Lisa for the first time at Avitaween, but didn’t spend much time chatting since I was the social penguin that was getting his drink on. So this was a nice chance to chat and eat lunch and finally get to know how cool a person Lisa is.
After time out at the pool, a visit to the day spa, a nice dinner and some gambling, we ended our first full day in Reno. All in all, a great day filled with lots of fun, a visit with a blogger friend and great food.

Looks fantastic!!
Oh that room turned out nice!
I’m so glad you had such a wonderful time! Those pics are amazing and I’m envious you got to meet more bloggers. I have yet to meet even one lol.
Anyway, Noel & I spent our honeymoon in Lake Tahoe (a week at the Shore House Inn — completely perfect, almost magical, really! HIGHLY recommend it). The Saturday before we left, we went into Reno for the evening and did a “dinner and a show” at the El Dorado Hotel & Casino. The buffet was AMAZING — I’ve never seen (or eaten) so many at one time lol. We seen 42nd Street and it was pretty good, too. Definitely a fun little city to visit!
I hope the rest of your vacation was as good as the beginning! Looking forward to finding out if you visited Crescent City at all. I have family there and it’s one of my most favorite places on earth.
By the way… HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! =)
That room is beautiful! And it sounds like you had a wonderful time.
No visit to the Hard Rock an hour south in Tahoe?
Oog. my priorities are kind of messed up…
TV in the bathroom? Nice touch! Sounds like a great way to celebrate your nuptials!
Nice digs, Marty. Excellent anniversary location. And excellent choice of lunch company!
I cannot believe it has been TWO years! I remember like yesterday when you two got married. Wow!
It was so great to have lunch with you & Reba! I’m glad I got to meet her this time since I didn’t at Avitaween.
I think out next date night needs to be at the Pepermill. It’s swankalicious after the remodel!
Happy belated Anniversary.
Nice room.
Not a bad pun. 🙂
Love the room and the view of the pool is rather sweet.
sybil law – It was fantastic!
hilly – Yep, surprised Reba and I.
amber – Lake Tahoe was a great place to go and it sounds like you and Noel know that well. Sounds like your honeymoon was grand.
Crescent City was nice. We spent one night there on our way down the 101 to see the Redwoods. Nice little city.
tori – We did have a wonderful time. Thanks.
dave2 – I had thought about it (and also thought about HRC in Sacramento, as well as the LEGO store there, too), but Reba wanted to stay at the Peppermill and not leave, which we didn’t.
nilsa – Yeah, I had seen that before, but never experienced the TV in the bathroom.
finn – Yep, all excellent choices indeed.
kilax – Yeah, it doesn’t seem like 2 years have gone by already. Time flies when you are enjoying life.
lisa – Yes, I cannot say enough about how cool it was to meet you again. Glad you liked Reba, too. Enjoy your next date night.
delmer – Ha… nice pun, indeed. Thank you.
kevin – That was a nice pool area. Padded chaise lounges and pool side drink service were a nice touch.
