10 Year Anniversary

Jake & I drove to Tahoe for our 10 year anniversary. (Note to self. Never do that again. Long boring drive.) We spent 2 days skiing at Heavenly resort & a day wandering around Reno. After our first day of skiing we got stuck for an hour in a blizzard waiting for a bus. Yes, that's 3 inches of snow on my hat. When the bus finally got there we were greeted by a bus driver with dreadlocks playing rastafarian music. The bus was crammed with skiers all sining along to the music. Best bus ride ever. Views were amazing.

It snowed about 4 feet the day before we got there so we had 2 days perfect powder to ski in.

We went to an automobile museum in Reno. It was actually my favorite part of the trip. They mostly focused on automobiles from the late 1800's to the 1950's. The vehicles in the earl 1900's were the best. Each one completely unique because nothing was mass manufactured yet.

How would you like to take a ride in the 1892 Phillion.

You'd look something like this.

Check out the steering wheel.

Appropriate riding wear early 1900's.

Get out of my way!

My favorite was all of the various shaped head light. How did they light them you ask? Kerosene. That's until they remembered how flammable it is. Candles were also used.

Here's a 1904 Knox that you could buy for $2400. It comes equipped with baskets attached for you golfing & picnicking pleasure.

Need fuel? Cuz you can buy some out of a giant fuel pump that looks like it came straight out of a cartoon.

1921 Rolls-Royce.

1941 Chrysler

1936 Mercedes-Benz

The Thomas Flyer - Known for winning the 1907 automobile race around the world.

It was really cool to see all of the scars from the trip around the world. Various different types of tires for different terains. Linen cloth replaced by sailors who took the original leather work from the car. A headlight smashed in from a crash with a duck. Lots of stories. I'm sure if ducktape had been around, this vehicle would have been wrapped in it. Pretty amazing what they did.

My favorite. This is the 1938 Phantom Corair. It's a wicked cool looking car but not very practical. The front windows are so tiny you can barely see out of them. The passengers in the back face backwards with no backseat window. And there are no door handles on the outside doors.

We also got to see a modern collection of cars. This is the picasso. It's much cooler in person.

This is the last night I was actually able to eat food. Technically the first day of our trip. Poor Jake spent half the trip with me wandering around trying to find anything that I could stand to put in my stomach. (Note to self. Do not go on anniversary trip when you have morning sickness. It ruins everything!) We had a good time, but the thought of Reno, skiing, or casino's literally brings up bile in my throat.
