Reno Trip!

We headed down to Reno for the Nevada vs. BSU game over the weekend!
Here is a short story...

We stopped by Walgreens to load up on school spirit before we left Boise...

And headed out onto the open road.

Destination: Reno, NV. 6 hours away...

We saw funny things along the way like this "congestion" sign...

But the funniest was when Charity opened her window and our $13 Boise State flag went flying away onto the open road. We flipped around, found the flag in decent condition, until a huge truck ran it over and crushed it into pieces, right in front of our eyes...sad face...

We scooped up the remains of our school spirit, and headed onward...

In Reno, we enjoyed delicious In-n-Out with the rest of Bronco Nation.

There was blue and orange everywhere!

When we got to our beautiful hotel, (The Grand Sierra), we checked in and headed up the 21 floors to our newly remodeled  room...that wasn't cleaned. We called the front desk and they moved us to the 24th floor where we waited for housekeeping to bring us a new key. This room had the beds made, but wasn't clean either!

After speaking with the front desk again, they ended up giving us $75 to their amazing sushi restaurant, and more vouchers for food credits and bowling, they cleaned our room spotless (minus the purple underwear in the closet that we found later...sick)!

We didn't care at that point...it was game time!

We got free tickets into the game (thanks James), and we unintentionally snuck Holly in with us (well, she basically walked in and no one checked her ticket)!

Our feet were frozen, our throats hurt from yelling so much, and we had a great time cheering on BSU...despite the heartbreaking loss (and for those of you who blame Kyle, in the words of Coach Pete: "You can win a game with one play, but you can't lose a game with one play...").

Here is our sad face again...we still love you BSU!

The next day...

We went to the Outlets and went shopping!!

Chris had an Elk sandwich, Holly drank her coffee cold, and Charity only spent $40 on clothes!

No, this was not the Elk in Chris' sandwich...

Chris, move a little more to your right...

Kissy face...

We were practicing for the sushi we were going to be eating that night...

Holly fell asleep at 7pm...

So Charity and Chris enjoyed amazing sushi!, courtesy of bad housekeeping!!

Then we got in our two-toned, rented shoes...

And bowled the night away!

We went 2 days in a row (this time with Holly), thanks to our bowling vouchers! We spent $1.75 and made some "young-corn" friends in the lane next to us!

 The next morning, we ate some food, (we were "rearry thirstry"), packed up and headed home...

We came home to record snowfall...

So we snuggled up, made a fire, played Wii, and enjoyed another day of vacation...

It's good to be home...
