Hello happy Tuesday that's almost over. I went into the office today to work. It was actually kind of nice with the cold ac I wasn't paying for and no dogs wanting in and out ;)

The other department at work is a little crazy. They put their name on the air freshener. Does that mean we can't use it lol.

and the coffee machine

and this water dispenser lol

I came out to get in my car at 5:30 and whew it was hot in there. I debated going to the store but decided I didn't care that we were out of milk and a few other things. I don't even drink milk anyways.

Today's lunch from the chicken bowl place

Bunco was fun last night but I didn't win anything. We didn't have it last month so it's been awhile since I've seen a few people that don't play darts. My mom came and we hung out in the parking lot talking for like an hour after.

Are you happy this is my last road trip catch up?

Friday morning eye report. Dolores looking extra angry. Me being over it haha

We checked out of our hotel and Scott pulled into Elmer's. I was still being mad so he didn't even ask where I wanted to eat. When we were packing up the car I was like I don't understand why you are being in a hurry to go home I thought we were just going to take our time and enjoy ourselves.  Then his attitude like shifted and he was a lot nicer again. Yeah for being adults and getting over shit even though it took a day ;) 

One of my friends had suggested we try and Elmer's She used to live in Oregon and was like you should find one! So it was funny that there was one right around the corner from our hotel. I'm not even sure what city this was. 

I got the stuffed hashbrowns. It was ok but could have been a bit hotter if I remember correctly.

Driving past the casino my friend Cassi lives near. Waving goodbye I miss you!

Oh look we made it to California!

Mt. Shasta. Not too long after this we saw a sign for Reno and decided to take a detour!

and then the affects of the Park Fire 

Mt Lassen area

and the :::angels sing:::: my favorite home away from home haha. 

This was most definitely not a free night but I did get some kind of discount booking a room at the check in with my players card. Hopefully that earns me a cheap room later.

View from our room. We chose to not face the pool since there was some kind of late night party going to be going on there. 

The buffet was finally open for dinner. It was just meh. I think next time I'd just opt for getting a meal at the restaurant. Most of the crab seemed like it needed to cook just a bit longer. The shrimp was really good though. I got some more food but not sure what it was ;) I had a few things I just took one bite of and then was like meh.

We played the slots after dinner and we were both losing and down about $80/$100 and then we sat next to each other at the same kind of machines and kept winning. Not a ton but we both won over $100 so we cashed out as winners and went to bed :)

The next day we stopped in Boomtown and had Mel's for brunch before the drive home. My last road trip meal. I can't remember what it was called but it was good. 

and then we were home and Trevor had rearranged the silverware drawer :)
