A Visit from Ms. Julia!!!

We got a wonderful week long visit from our favorite GD! She's almost 12 now and it was the first time from her parents for this length of time. She did wonderful. We did too many things to mention here, but just a few were to visit a couple of arcades, miniature golf, a movie, Scheel's Sporting Goods Store which has a Ferris wheel, games and things for kids. Also ate at Mel's Diner (50's). She loved riding Bubba's bike around the RV park! Donna and I loved having her here. She's a great kid.

Hot August Nights 2016 Reno NV

So one of the many things that attracted us to Reno was Hot August Nights. The world's largest gathering of nostalgic cars. And they weren't kidding. This year car registrations for the show was near 6000 vehicles and it was their 30th anniversary!!! Think about that a minute. The event is done in 5 days and the vehicles are located throughout the city. The parking lots of 6 major casinos were used for most of the cars, then there was the major downtown streets that were blocked off for the cars. Parades all around town too. All this for free. Events usually ran from 7AM to midnight. Outdoor entertainment was everywhere, again most for free. Some of the shows were fairly big name stuff. I made 4 of the 5 days and all the rounds. By the time I got home each night my feet and legs felt like stumps! But boy was I happy! The pix here were some of my favorite. If you are a major motorhead (or bored) and want to see more iron and such, click here to go my Photobucket slideshow where you can look at almost 400 pix! This fabulous event exceeded my expectations 10 fold!
