a day or two in reno?

I travelled to Reno for my bestfriendroommatefromjeruloveofmylife Mandy's farewell.
I took my bestfriendsoulmate Sydney her fiance Spencer and a boy named Jeff.

We saw the Truckee river: it seemed swift, “it doesn’t stop” and I wanted to swim in it.
We went into the Circus Circus: it was smoky, and gambly.
We watched at the National Bowling Center: I loved the team from LA.
We passed crazy drunks dressed up: Jar Jar Binx and his entourage.
We saw a great Walgreens: it is on a bridge and shilvy (aka shiny and silver).
We walked through a forest: there were 6 trees altogether.
We took pictures: with a disposable camera.
We ate some fro-yo, obv
We almost joined a wedding party: a fierce couple with hot pink bridesmaid dresses.
We stopped by the squaw peak of Reno.
We took a Sunday drive to Lake Tahoe and dipped our pinkies in the water.
And we said goodbye.
It was such a wonderful weekend.

This is an indian monument and it is crazy. It is a lot of strange objects glued together in a house-like form. Sorry about the barbed wire-we couldn't get too close. 
Native american Spirits and such. {really though, the sign out front warned: enter at own risk}
You may wonder why I took this picture. I did for a second too, but there is a peacock there. {by the yellow/black post}
Best Jeru friends. Just standing by a classy casino, because we are classy.

When you go to Reno what is the one place everyone knows you must hit up? The Apple store to play with the iPad. 

Downtown. It is so beautiful to me.

disclaimer: remember these were taken with a disposable camera. so do not judge their poor quality but rather love them for the tourist-y feel they create.

I love disposable cameras. They remind me of EFY and girl's camp.

You got some grrrreat ones. How'd the Gateway fountains one turn out?

My family owned a house in Truckee for a looong time, so I spent the majority of my summers and vacations there. I know exactly what you mean about the Truckee river, Circus Circus, crazy drunks, that one Walgreens on the bridge, forest, Lake Tahoe, squaw peak of Reno... makes me smile :)
