It was another America’s Adventure Place weekend for Adventure Grrl. We kicked off the weekend with dinner at the Circus Circus in downtown Reno, where we ate some delicious Hawaiian food.

We were then treated to the circus act of J.R. Johns and his ‘clever canines’. I like to call him the dog man. He does all kinds of tricks with numerous dogs, from a Great Dane to a Jack Russel Terrier and a black lab. The dogs do hand stands, back flips, magic tricks — you name it! Even though it’s a show for kids, all of the adults in the audience were enamored with the dogs. It’s hard not to be, I mean look at this:

After dinner, we headed to Brew Brothers in the Eldorado, where we danced to an incredible band from Arizona called Tate. They were playing all of today’s alternative hits, and I sang along to every song!

We crashed in our mini-suite at the Circus, and on Saturday, we headed to Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe for another day on the slopes. The hubby made it down a gnarly bumps run, and then as he skied onto a catwalk at the bottom of that run, he did an impressive fall. It was hilarious!

The trees were all flocked with snow on Saturday, making for some very scenic views.

After skiing, we re-fueled on Thai food at the Thai Royal House (pumpkin curry is to die for!), and then we headed to the Reno Hilton for a dance party featuring the disco cover band Bootie Quake out of L.A. We pulled out our best disco moves, and danced until our poor legs just couldn’t take anymore.

On Sunday, we slept in to recover from the night before, and then headed to Prison Hill Recreation Area just outside of Carson City for a bit of hiking. When you reach the summit of Prison Hill, there is an incredible view of Carson City and the Sierras. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera that day, so you’ll have to take my word for it. Beautiful!

Stay tuned for stories from next weekend, when I’ll be skiing three days in a row… Can my legs take it?!
