Reno, NV, is a small town about 4-hour by car from San Francisco, CA. At its center is the Wingfield Park, saddling the Truckee River, and surrounded by nice shops and restaurants.

Several resort-casinos are distributed through out the area, instead of being concentrated along a street like in Las Vegas, its bigger sister city. So the atmosphere here is more mellow. To us, the main attraction of this region is Lake Tahoe, which is about 1-hour drive to the south of Reno.
Lake Tahoe itself is so beautiful, with its many shades of blue depending on depth. Its most famous cove , in our mind, is Emerald Bay. With the perfect weather during our visit, we enjoyed its many other locations and beaches. And there are so many ways to enjoy this beautiful lake.

On our last full day at Lake Tahoe, we took a sunset dinner cruise on one of the many steamboats. The meal was served buffet style, and there was live music on board. The boat captain narrated the history of Lake Tahoe as well as pointed out interesting features such as the Vikingsholm. Good food, nice music, beautiful scenery, great conversation with my sweetheart.

We thoroughly enjoyed out time in Reno, NV, and at Lake Tahoe, especially the romantic dinner cruise. The majority of pictures taken during this trip are personal, but those which are shareable can be viewed at https://picasaweb.google.com/108013863525571472697/130812RenoTahoe?noredirect=1#.
