Sierra Safari Zoo
This little zoo looked pretty humble, but it was actually amazing. All the workers are volunteers, which seems to make the animals more calm, because they can sense the people caring for them really do and aren't just there for a paycheck. I'm not normally a big fan of zoo's, especeially Hogle's (another story) but this was great. The animals were all just right there for us to see. And we were fortunate to be there for lunch for the lioness.
Virginia City
Time to go back into the Old West. We took the old train into Virginia City. Super Fun, David especially enjoyed this. We also went thru a few tunnels, even more fun. Once in Virginia City we saw people dressed up in Period Costumes and had a fun time exploring the town and checking out the mueum. FYI this Little Engine is the Engine used in the movie Water For Elephants. It was amazing learning about the history of the Mines and the old Railways.
Scheels in Sparks Nevada
We stayed at the Sparks Marina Campground, which was amazing! We rode our bikes around the lake, darn I forgot to take pictures. UGH! We also explored the Scheels which will be arriving in Sandy soon. And the best part was heading into Reno for some authentic Basque Food. Yummy
The Beginning of the Shern Family Vacation
Cecil spoils me and the kids. Thank you for all the amazing memories you give us. For a couple of years we (I) have wanted to go to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore and all the cool things there. Three hours into picking out our campsites, and activities we realize the dates we would be there would be the same as the Sturgiss Rally (SP?) One of my customers actually happened to arrive for her hair apt and laughed. They had taken their family many years ago and thought it was odd there were so many bikes, until they realized they were also there durring rally time. She asked if we were really going to take the kids, and we said no instead we were thinking of Lake Tahoe. She also had done this with her family and said yes, go for it. Funny thing is it's also the same dates there for the Beat the Heat Classic Car Show! We figured it's a little different atmosphere with Classic Car Owners. So to Nevada we went. The first night we stayed in Winnemucca. Not much there, but we played in the pool, did some mini golf, and Cecil was of service. I will post more about this after we tell our families the story face to face, because I really want to see their expressions.
