Family Hike 2018-Evans Canyon/Miners Trail


This was a family hike we took...Memorial Day of 2018!  I haven't shared our adventures in several months so I'm trying to catch up.  Addie was working so she wasn't able to be with us.

This hike is locally right in Reno.  If you have ever visited our area, you will remember how we don't have the water towers in each town with the town's name like the Midwest.  We, instead, put the initials of the town on the side of the mountain.  We had never done it but we decided to do this trail and hike to the initials.  Here is the family after we reached the top!



Of course, got to bring Max!



If you look closely, you can see downtown Reno in the distance.



And here is a better view of downtown!  Pretty shot!


Panoramic shot.


Me, the hubby and Max overlooking the city.  We love this place!


The three amigos, Autumn, Sierra and Summer, with the N in the background.  We totally didn't prepare well and ran out of water way too soon.  It was very warm!


Every hike is better ended at DQ for blizzards. :)

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
