The Surprise Vacation to Reno to see thee one and only...Bill Cosby!

Morgan took me to Reno this past weekend for my birthday! He had been planning this "Surprise Vacation" for a few months and I had no idea where we were going. On our way to "Where-everland" He let me guess until I got it. It didn't take long and he pulled out two tickets to see Bill Cosby at the Silver Legacy Hotel in Reno. We had a great weekend.

We arrived in Reno around 8:30pm and we realized that the city is very ALIVE at night. We made sure to lock the car doors and we tried hard to focus on the road and the car ahead of us instead of all the blinking and flashing lights. We stayed in the Peppermill Hotel just outside Babylon... I mean, downtown Reno. We were not used to the smoke and the Casino feel and we were grateful to be on the 7th floor away from it all. We watched part of "Horton Hears a Who" (the greatest movie in the entire world) and went to sleep.

The next day we went window shopping and we're proud to say we didn't spend any money! Later that night we got ready and went to see Bill Cosby. It was really wierd to see him in person! There were a few times where his jokes were a little off color but overall it was a great experience. You can tell he is running out of steam but we still burnt quite a few calories from laughing.

On sunday we went to church with Leslie and Jason and the kids and had dinner with them that evening. It was a very good visit and the food was wonderful! Jason cooked some Chinese food that was AMAZING! Overall it was a wonderful birthday weekend thanks to my wonderful husband who put a lot of thought and effort into making it so. I love him so much...







Window shopping day!





He is getting old!




We got lost in the Casino with all the crazy lights and mirrors. It was scary. It felt like the lobby of the Great and Spacious Building.
