Okay, I just started to write this blog and almost forgot where we were! I had to ask Colin, lol! It's so easy to lose track of the day and place we're at. Each day seems to roll into the other while on this tour!
We'll be in Reno for 3 days. There are 5 performances between tonight and Sunday, so there will be little time for doing sightseeing. Luckily there's a casino right in our hotel so I may be able to squeeze a few slots in ;) The bus ride was very scenic. The mountains were absolutely gorgeous! We rode by Donner Lake where the historical Donner Family traveled. For those who don't know, the Donner party traveled west in 1846 in a wagon train. They attempted to take a "shortcut", but unfortunately that was the wrong decision. It turned out to be a much longer trip and as they ran out of provisions, bad storms approached. The survivors had to turn to cannibalism in an attempt to survive.
During one of our stops we were able to view another part of history. We saw the actual car that Bonnie and Clyde were killed in. There were also other things that belonged to them, such as the shirt that Clyde had on when he was shot. I didn't have my camera but both John and Sue took photos, so I'll post them once I get them.
Quentin's mom, Gail, and sister, Reina, traveled to Reno to see the shows. It was the first time they watched it so it was pretty exciting for their whole family. I can't wait to have our family at the Binghamton performance. I miss everyone so much!!
The boys finished up school til next week. It'll be so nice for them to have a week off. They've been working so hard on school, homework, and shows-they deserve a break!
I'm posting more photos, so I hope you all enjoy them!
