Apple Hill & Then Some

This weekend we took our 2nd mini road trip to
Placerville, Ca and walked through
the old town then we drove up to
Camino, Ca and a little place called
Apple Hill the beautiful array of the
Autumn colors and smelling and tasting the great produce of
the season not to mention the great apple bakeries
on sight and the unique crafters selling their wares.


after our apple shopping experience we drove up a ways
and ended up in Lake Tahoe for a few hours where it was
very interesting because one side of the Mtn was green and
leaves were changing colors and the other side had snow
yes SNOW on the ground and Mtn tops! but the sun was
warm from there we drove some more
( my hubby likes to drive!) we ended
up in Reno and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening
there. we stayed in the Circus Circus casino and had a lot of
fun shooting pool and then walked through the town and
then I watched my hubby play a few slot machines
he won!!! not a big amount but he won big enough for him
then we just hung out and did stuff again that we normally
would not do, well actually we sometimes get to do this casino
thing when we visit my in laws but that is not all that often
anyway we had fun watching all the interesting folks that
love to gamble, it's kind of like watching people at an airport
they are a breed of there own. then before we knew it
we were eating dessert at 1:30 in the AM and then off to
bed. we are enjoying our mini trips ( yes I kept in touch with
the teenagers ) one went to see the drifters and the other
was at a teenage festival celebrating and taking the vows
with about 200 other teenagers of abstinence ! both of the
teenagers in my house have taken this vow both of their own
accord I am so proud of them!

we came home to find our teenagers and the house again
in one piece (it's such a nice feeling ) and then one went to
youth group, the other playing a very unique instrument he
just got.
back to our routine we can't wait till our next mini road trip!
