- RECOVERY - DAY 3 - RENO

Kurt planned a get-away to Reno for us. We needed to decompress after such a busy few weeks.
We spent the day shopping at our favorite stores, eating at one of our favorite restaurants, and staying in our favorite room at the Silver Legacy.

No trip to Reno would be complete without stopping at Kurt's favorite store - Cabela's. Kurt picked up some pants, hats and fishing gear and I bought some new snow boots.

This is what he really wanted to buy....

And secretly, I've always wanted a coon skin hat.

The store was pretty much deserted. We've only been here during the grand opening and at peak shopping times, so this was pretty weird.

As we drove in to Reno we saw a pretty cool standing lenticular cloud.

Getting ready to check in at the Silver Legacy

Being lazy. It feels SO nice.

I love the oversized chairs in the lobby. It's kind of a tradition to take photos in these chairs.
Just call me Edith Ann ;) (ha ha Dean!)

RECOVERY - DAY 2

This morning we managed to sleep in a little. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise. (This is the view we see from our bed).

We played with the Wii Fit that Santa brought us. I was relieved that my Body Mass Index falls within normal range ;)

My goal - to lose 10.7 lbs before March 21st. Wish me luck!

My center of balance was WAY better than Kurt's. I guess those yoga classes have paid off ;)

We went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tonight. It was pretty long and a little slow, but a really sweet, touching movie. 3 1/2 stars.

We had dinner at a new restaurant in Placerville - Cascada. YUM. Thank you Dr. Kiholm for such a nice Christmas present!!! I had the lobster enchiladas and Kurt had the steak burrito.

We walked down Placerville's Historic Main Street after dinner and decided to have an ice cream cone at "What's The Scoop."

Kurt ordered Butter Pecan and Pistachio.

They were out of my favorite - Caramel Cookie Dough, so I had Pistachio. Just what I needed. I'll have to get back on the treadmill before I do Wii Fit again. I have a feeling my BMI has taken a turn for the worse.

We stopped at a Red Box and rented Meet Dave on the way home. I ended up falling asleep (what's new?) but Kurt said it was okay - 2 out of 5.......

RECOVERY - DAY 1

Our first day of vacation. Kurt and I took the week off to rest from the festivities. We slept in and then got busy cleaning up from Christmas/Wedding.

No comment on what Kurt's doing here. I'm sure it was a legal burn. Yard waste only.

All of the Wedding/Christmas wrapping paper, boxes and bags were disposed of in the proper manner. I'm sure of it.

We took leftover food from the reception, i.e. sheet cake, etc., to the local soup kitchen. We got there just before dinner was served. They were glad to see us come.

We spent the rest of the day/night laying around, napping and watching DVD's. I liked "Horton Hears a Who." I'll have to buy this one. I really think Kelsey and Abbey would like it.

I pretty much slept through this one, but Kurt liked it.
