Jared and I got invited to go the National Milk Producers annual meeting in Reno, Nevada this year. Cael was only 5 months old and still nursing so he got the privelge of going with us.
Reno is not my favorite place in the world. We stayed at a hotel that was basically by itself. Nothing was within walking distance so we were pretty much stuck in the hotel for 5 days. The hotel was surrounded by slot machines and drinking. We met lots of interesting people at the meetings. It is always fun to meet different dairy families and see how they do business.
Their were a lot of games and Jared got to participate in a few.
One night for the entertainment the hotel set up a room just like a casino where everyone could play different games. Jared tried out a few games.
Cael wasn't so sure about Blackjack.
At the end of the conference their was a nice catered banquet and Howie Long (former NFL football player) spoke which was very neat and interesting. As we were walking to the elevator Howie and his crew were right in front of us so I ran up to him and asked for a quick photo. It's kind of blury, but who cares it's Howie.
One day a couple guys from DFA and Jared and I and Cael took off and took a drive to Lake Tahoe and around Reno. Lake Tahoe is beautiful...nestled up in the mountains with a beautful beach. I wish we would have had more time there.
Cael looks like a little old man in this picture.
The last night of the conference there was another fancy banquet and the band "Gloriana" played. They were really good. I ended up in the hall most of the time because it was so loud for little Cael's ears.
