There is No Place Like Home for the Holidays

After spending eleven months hitting the slopes, relaxing on the shores of Tahoe and seeing the leaves transition from green to a golden yellow, winter is finally here. And let me tell you, there is no place like Reno to spend the winter. There is something so peaceful about being the only one on Virginia Street as the snow falls on a quiet winter night, especially during the first heavy storm of the year. There is nothing more refreshing than seeing the entire community gather together to celebrate the season and see the 30 year old Christmas tree light up downtown or to hear all the chit chat about the upcoming Santa Pub Crawl that gathers people from all over the nation.

Nothing clears my mind more than putting on some ice skates and gliding around the River Rink or strolling through the festive lanes of Legends in Sparks to Christmas shop. The holiday feeling the area gives provides me with a warm fuzzy feeling on those cold winter days. Well, that and a nice warm cup of hot coco. Reno is alive with it adventure whether it is winter, spring, summer or fall and makes me feel so blessed to be a part of  this community.  Man I love this place!
