Reno



It's been awhile since we've posted anything so sorry for that. We returned late last night from our quick trip to Reno to see Molly's sister Jessy perform with Michael Bolton. It was a little more driving than I expected but very nice weather and nice country to be driving through. The picture above is backstage after the show. Jessy and the band were outstanding! Molly's already seen them perform but not a full show, so it was pretty cool. We had great seats 8 rows back from the stage. The show was at the Nugget Hotel/Casino, where we also stayed. The kids enjoyed the swimming and seeing their Aunt Jessy. The hotel was decent but we all smelled like smoke so needless to say it's nice to be home. We even got signed copies of Jessy J's CD! I thought for sure we'd get the family discount but no such luck (ha)! I'll let Molly add more about our adventures...

We're planning on having a b-day party for the kids April 5th (Sat) here in Portland at Chuck E. Cheese. Molly will be sending out invitations. We'd love to have the cousins come but we understand it's a bit of a drive for everyone.

Late,

BTW - Molly mentioned something about the Foo Fighters, well Jessy knows the girlfriend of the keyboard/piano player for the Foo's touring band and she's going to see if we might be able to get backstage for the Portland concert... we shall see.

I bet the kids think it is so cool to see their aunt on stage performing and feel the excitement. Reno is a long drive, but when you have a sweet ride, some good tunes, and dvd players for the kids it's not too bad!

Wish we lived closer so we could celebrate the big #6 w/ the kids! Glad you had a fun trip.

I listened to some of Jessy's CD. Wow! I'm so impressed. She may make me a jazz music lover after all!
