We’re back from Reno! We had a fun time, and Peter’s dad came in 15th in the bowling tournament, which was good enough to win some $$. The tournament was held at the National Bowling Stadium, which has 50 lanes. It was pretty incredible, and it was great fun watching all the bowling (confession: I actually enjoy watching bowling on TV. It’s one of the only sporting events I watch).
\nHere are all the old guys and gals marching into the stadium:

\nAnd here’s a shot of Peter’s dad in action:

\nOther highlights of the trip:
\n– We ate the famous Awful Awful Burger at the Nugget Diner, a crazy, dingy little place that was straight out of a Saturday Night Live sketch (you know, “cheebooger cheebooger cheebooger Pepsi”). I would have taken a photo of the food and the diner, but the lights went out, and by the time they came back on, my fingers were covered in sauce.
\n– I went to Jimmy Beans Wool<\/a> in Truckee! Very cute store, very nice owner.
\n– We had lunch at Ikeda’s<\/a> in Auburn, and I finally got to try their pie.
\n– While I vegged out in the hotel room, Peter played video poker for 38 minutes on a single dollar.
\n– The Chinese restaurant in the El Dorado Hotel\/Casino, where we stayed, was actually really good, and I learned how to say “thank you” in Cantonese.
\nKnitting updates to come this weekend, probably. Hope everyone had a good week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
