Family Vacation


So with all the house/moving stuff going on this summer we decided it was best to hang around town instead of taking a vacation.  (lame)  Being an adult is not very much fun most of the time.  Anyway I dragged Greg and the kids up to Virginia City the Saturday before Doug started school and I have to say they had a pretty great time.  I highly recommend  the trolley tour but other than that I guess you just have to pick and choose what you like.  It's been a few years since I've been up there and I was surprised at how much they had to see and do.  Maybe things have changed or maybe my parents were just really cheap because all I remember doing as kid was taking the "walking tour" and eating ice cream.  (burn)

eating bubble gum ice cream from "Red's" That's really all she wanted to do and later told us that it was her favorite part of the day.  Frankly I don;t know if she remembers anything else we did.

camel races (those are every year in September. This is just a sign)

these guys are volunteers with the historical society that dress up and wander around on weekends to take pictures with tourists.
