Monday was our fourth wedding anniversary, which we celebrated in Reno, in the hotel where we were married. The hotel is no long Reno Hilton, but the wedding chapel is still there. The hotel is now called Grand Sierra Resort.
We drove up Monday morning and came back on Tuesday. We were a little concerned about leaving our three kitties alone for more than a day. We left a lot of food and water for them, but still, we were concerned.
We had a fabulous dinner at Charlie Palmer's Steak House there in the hotel...martinis and smoked salmon blini for appetizer, filets cooked to perfection with crisp asparagus, stuffed potato truffle, a wonderful Avalon wine, coffee and assorted cookies. The service was perfect. After a meal like that we really didn't feel like gambling much. Jim played a little black jack and broke even...now in my opinion, that's winning! The ride up was long and tedious - lots and lots and lots of road construction, so we were tired, so we had an early bedtime.
Tuesday morning, after a pleasant breakfast, we did a little more gambling...I won $30! Now that probably doesn't seem like much to anyone, but I hit a $100 jackpot on a penny machine. The whole penny machine is a hoax just because in order to have a chance to win at all, the bet has to be maximum, which in most cases is $1.50.
It was a good trip, which we needed. Now we're working on year number five. Ain't love grand!
