We recently received a flyer in the mail announcing
that Journey was coming to Reno for a concert.
Mike still loves all his 80's music, but his favorite is
Journey and he has passed that love onto his kids - especially Logan.
So we decided to make a weekend out of it.
The plan was to leave Friday morning, but since a storm was
brewing we changed our plans at the last minute and left Thursday afternoon.
Unfortunately we didn't quite beat the storm.
I-80 was closed for awhile so we had to wait it out.
We were lucky we left when we did because 80 was closed on
Friday so we may not have made it through.
Kaitlyn and Logan loved looking out the window of the hotel as the snow came down.
This is what it looked like as we drove around Reno Friday morning.
The kids and I had never been to Cabela's before so we decided to check it out.
Logan walked thru the parking lot the "fun" way - thru the snow.
When we arrived in Reno on Thursday night there was no snow
on the ground, but when we went out
Friday morning it was up to Logan's knees.
Logan was dying to get out and have a snowball fight so we found a
park and got out to play in the snow.
He wasn't even finished getting his snow clothes on before the battle began.
He even wanted Mike to drag him thru the snow.
Kaitlyn made a cute little snowman.
Mike loves a good surprise so we hadn't told the kids about the concert.
Friday afternoon we created a little scavenger hunt to tell
them they were going to see Journey perform live.
Logan was so excited he could hardly stand it!
Off to the concert!
The next morning we treated ourselves to room service.
It turned out to be very cool and we wish we could have
The opening band was Night Ranger - we decided
we aren't big fans - so glad Mike brought earplugs.
But when Journey started we all loved it!
I don't know if Logan ever sat down -

he danced and sang and had a great time!
The next morning we treated ourselves to room service.
Our plan for Saturday was to go tubing for the day.
We were 10 miles from the exit when traffic came to a dead stop.
There was an accident on 80 and it was closed once again.
Plan B was going to a car museum in Reno.
It turned out to be very cool and we wish we could have
spent more time there.
On Sunday we enjoyed a delicious breakfust buffet,

It was so fun to drive home with the four of us singing away

as we blasted our Journey CD.
We all had a great time and we are so glad we went!
