Lazy Day in Reno

-
On Sunday morning we woke up around 9:00.  I expected to be really sore, but I felt pretty good. Instead of hopping to it, I decided to lay in bed and watch a few minutes of HGTV (the only thing on).

Then it was off to Chipotle for lunch (yes, we have eaten there 3 times).  During lunch we got the following picture messages from the boys.


They asked that we send a picture back.  This is what we sent. 


After lunch we took the car back to the rental place and then walked back to the hotel. Next we went down to the gym to workout.  We sent these pictures to the boys too.



After working out we decided to go see a movie.  We saw quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen in the theater - American Ultra.   On the way home we stopped in a few novelty shops that looked like the perfect place to get murdered.

Once back at the room we showered and went out for the evening.  First I got my picture taken on the enormous poker chips.

Then we went to the Eldorado Casino for dinner at the Brooks Bar and Grille.  But first we stopped at the statue to take more pictures to send to the boys. 




Michael ordered the "double double" which was a double cheese burger in between two grilled cheese sandwiches.  It was enormous.  I had to try a bite too. 


Though Michael's sandwich was more interesting, my pastrami and swiss on a pretzel bun was to die for.  On our way home I bought a coffee to sip on.  

As we were walking down the street a kid spit on me; not at me, on me.  That was awesome.  Given my experience in Reno, this didn't shock me at all.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
