It was my wife's mother's 70th birthday, so we flew up north to join the rest of the family in a celebration. This is as we are making the approach to land at the Sacramento Airport.
We made it over to Lake Tahoe late in the afternoon.
Just as gorgeous as ever - it had been years since either of us had been there.
My wife on a pier.
Yours truly.
At the base of the pier is the restaurant we had chosen for dinner - Gar Wood's.
As we entered the restaurant.
The food and wine were great, and they seated us at a view table. Perfection!
From there we went to the Silver Legacy in Reno and checked into a few room. This is the view from our room.
My wife did a bit of gambling that evening while I used the bar lounge to enjoy a few tunes.
The next day we spent poolside getting a few rays.
We checked out the entire hotel/casino and those next door too.
Getting ready to gamble Saturday night!
We joined my wife's family the next morning for a few hours in Virginia City. If you look down the road, you can see a few of the wild horses that came into town to enjoy the morning also.
A few shots of the city.
From there, we went to Carson City to attend the celebration of Clara's birthday with family. Neal.
My wife.

A group shot.
Sara brought her guitar and played a few fantastic songs for us - very enjoyable.
We also had time to visit my sister for the first time in years before heading back home. Here is a shot of our house from the air. :-)
