Last Day Of Vacation

This is my last day of freedom! So sad but true I have to go back to work tomorrow. I mean I really could get use to this not having to go to work thing with no problem, except for the fact my bills wouldn't get paid, so it is back to the grinding stone tomorrow. Not sure what we are going to do today as my kids are getting their hair colored black. Yes I finally gave in. So here is what we did this week:

On Sunday we went into Reno. We went to the Summit mall and of course had to go to Hot Topic. It's a pretty cool store with unusual fashion, but they always have band T-Shirts and my son wanted to get Marylin Manson shirt. We had to stop at star bucks and they had an art show going on so we checked that out. We ended up leaving there to go to another mall. We went to Legends which is a new mall and the biggest reason for going over there was they have the Scheels store. If you don't know what that is it is the biggest sports store ever. They have everything for what ever sports you are into! Now I am not a sports fan by no means, but it is so much more. They have this huge ferris wheel in the middle of the store! They have this mountain with every animal on it. From Quail to Mountain lion! They have statues of some of the Presidents and a couple of them move as well as talk! Than they have simulated race cars that you can get into and race and of course my kids wanted to do that because that cost ten bucks each! The ferris wheel was only a buck! They don't like heights. They had fun and that is what counts! When walking outside to the other shops they have art work and fountains. The one fountain kids where playing in to cool off! They have plaques telling of different people of Nevada history or places. They have a bath and body works that of course I had to go into! A Vans store that my son had to go into! We left there and went to The Olive Garden for dinner!

Monday we went to Virginia City! We love to go there because it is a living ghost town! We love all the shops. We stopped at the Fourth Ward School which we never have been in believe it or not! It was pretty cool! We have gone to a few museums this summer! It is neat to see all the stuff from history past. We like going to the leather shop because nothing is over 20 bucks! We got our daughter a really nice back pack, maybe it will last the whole school year!!

Tuesday we went into Genoa the oldest town in Nevada. We were going to go the the Mormon Station but it was closed. It is State run and because of the budget cuts they are closed for three days which was to bad because my kids haven't been in that museum. The court house museum was open though so we went into that one. We went to the gift shop they have there as well. I love Quail I think they are so cute so my husband bought me a figurine with mom, dad, and babies!

Wednesday was kind of a kick back day, but we did go and do some school shopping. My son hates to try things on, but I always make him anyway. He had like three pairs of pants and when he tried them on only one pair fit! I told him That is why I make you try them on!! We got a few school supplies not to much because the kids always get list from school of all the stuff they want them to have!

Thursday we went up to the Lake! It is one of our favorite places to go in the summer! Our oldest son went with us so it was even better having the whole family together! The Lake is unusually warm and unusually low! They have this pole way out there for the boats as a warning not to go past and unusually it is to deep so I don't ever go out that far, but I could actually walk out to it, in fact so could my youngest son! We had a great time as always. I just love Tahoe in the summer time!

Yesterday we didn't do much of anything either, but that is okay by me sometimes just hanging out at home is okay too! I will try to think of something to do today since it is the last day before I go back to work and it starts all over with not having time with the family!
