Reno


We had a enjoyable 11 hour drive to Reno Yesterday. We left at about 7:00AM and arrived at 6:00 PM. That was with several stops along the way including lunch at a very small Indian Casino outside of Klamath Falls, and a cool old General Store in a small very small town in Northern California (don't remember the name).

Marlene and I took turns driving which helped a lot, and we tried out Marlene's new GPS which she got for Christmas. We have one built in the car, but it kept trying to make us go all the way d0wn I-5 to Sacramento, which would have been a lot longer than the way we went though K- Falls, and Susanville.

We are staying in a newly remodeled Peppermill Casino, in the Tuscan Tower part of it...all designed on a Northern Italy theme. Very nice and fancy. Huge room with soaking tub in the bathroom, marble floors, walk in shower, and TV in the Bathroom...all for 85 bucks...great deal we got on Expeidia. The Picture above is looking down at the pool area from our room.

We had a very nice dinner last night as well. Marlene had Prawns and I had Teriyaki Steak..both were very tasty. Then we went to the slot machines for a while. I walked away with 500 bucks in my pocket so, it was a good day all around!
We have two more full days of fun starting today.....
