vacation continues....

We stayed a night with the newlyweds Donica and Jacob Graham....Thanks you two for hosting us and making such a yummy homemade breakfast!! Your home is beautiful and it was relaxing to be there! We attempted to go downtown to the Silver Legacy/El Dorado but as it was the end of Street Vibrations the streets and casinos were FULL of bikers! Jacob attempted to teach me how to play the penny slot machines....I guess I did alright, it took me over a minute to lose the whole dollar! I still don't get it....
On Sunday we checked into our hotel room and went out to find the 'Awful Awful' Burger...claimed to be THE BEST in Reno and fairly cheap. We finally found it and it was Awful Awful as you can see....Awful good and Awful cheap!!! We shared the huge burger and enormous basket of fries for a little over $6 and we were full!!
Next we headed back to the hotel to go to a comedy show we had tickets for...and take a seat in the big comfy chair....BIG comfy chair....
We had a great evening, Jason laughed so hard I swear he had tears in his eyes...:O)
On the way out the next morning we stopped to get some burgers...But apparently IN-N-OUT doesn't just make any burger. We mistakenly ordered 3 each (easily eaten at Burgerville since they are smooshed little burgers) and this is the beautiful box of burgers we received!!! For the price of a McDonalds or Burgerville burger!!! Wow they were good! And as a bonus, they lasted us the entire 10 hr drive back to Eugene! We enjoyed the time together in the car, seeing the landscape and having time to talk, talk, talk! :O)
We returned to give Tyson hugs and kisses...it was nice to have time just the two of us, but we did spend a lot of time talking about him and mimicking him (especially how he dances...it's just so darn cute!) so it was fun to come back and see him. We arrived back in Oregon City and picked up Jada, who we could tell really enjoyed her week on the farm. Because she was such an excellent escapist she spent the day following Lisa around and playing with Rally, who is their dog and her new buddy. We'll definitely have her stay there again next time we head out of town!
