On New Years eve we were all in bed early because we had a busy next few days planned.
On New Years day we watched the rose bowl parade and packed...for Carson City. We have been wanting to check out Carson for quite a while and we are finally got our opportunity.
On the 2nd we all climbed into the car and made the 7 hour drive to Carson City. After we checked into our hotel we headed right to the local micro-brew, High Sierra Brewing Company.
It was good eats and good brew!
Unfortunately, after a good first night our trip turned a bit sour. First, Jim got pulled over for speeding. Luckily, he got off with a warning. Then, we started to hear a weird noise in the car. We decided it was too weird of a noise to ignore so, we took it in to be looked at. The issue, blown wheel barring...$200+ dollars later we were safely back on the road.
Even with our day full of issues we still managed to check out Carson City's children's museum.
Even though the museum was small, the girl's had a great time!
Dinner on our second night was at a great BBQ place, Reds Old 395 Grill. The girls even had a good time at this restaurant mainly because of the magician walking around.
On Saturday the 4th, after a bit of touring we headed to Heavenly Ski Resort in Tahoe. Amazingly it was only about 30 minutes away from Carson. Our reason for going to Heavenly, ice skating! The girls were beyond excited! Especially Abby!

In total Abby was on the ice for 2.5 hours! Granted, we had two breaks one, for lunch and two, for the ice to be cleaned but total time equaled 2.5 hours! Abby impressed us with her tenacity. She was determined and didn't quit. By the end of the first half hour she was amazingly skating on her own!
Kera, on the other hand, had a bit harder of a time. She had a few HIGE tantrums! But, we do have to remember that she is only 3.
Kera did end the day on a positive note and end up having a good time on the ice.
As you can imagine, after so much skating the girls were exhausted!
So exhausted in fact that Kera slept through our whole dinner at The Firkin and Fox Pub and Restaurant.
On Sunday we headed back to Vegas. It is fun to be away but it is always great to come home to our fuzzy children.
