This weekend was Keith's birthday. We got a bunch of our friends together and had dinner at this yummy brazilian restaurant. My girlfriend was in charge of getting the cake and she did a great job. If you can't quite see what is written on his forehead: "I Love Renae" It was way too funny. We all had a great time!
For the actual day of Keith's birthday, I planned a suprise to trip to Mt Charleston. This is what Nevada considers a mountain. I had carefully planned all the details and had the car all packed up. All Keith had to do was get in the car. We were on our way until I realize I had forgotten on very important detail. The Directions! After heading the wrong way, Keith figured it out and put me on the right track. Shoot!
We arrived at our hotel which was a old style cottage type of a place. We unloaded, grabed a bite to eat. We were anxious to get out and explore the area. Our activity was put on hold due to rain. Shoot again! I am beginning to wonder if anything I had planned was going to work out. At this point, I spoke too soon. I had a suprise for him with a cute little cake and candles with all of his presents when we got back to the room. What does he do? Knocks over all the candles and we almost burn down the hotel. To answer my question. No! Nothing is going to go right!
The next day we get up, get and I had yet another activity planned. What does every person want in the am? A hearty breakfast. We head to the restaurant, I was eyeballing their breakfast selections when a server tells us that they are not yet open. Hmmm... It ws 9 at this point. " I am sorry, we do not open intil 11." "So you open for breakfast around lunch time?" He looked confused at this point. We decided to head to a coffee shop. A bagel and some oj sounded just as good. Who comes over to help us? Yep, the little server. He must run the whole hotel. He tells me he is out of bagels, out of oj and the muffins in the case are for display only. Really!!! All I wanted was some freakin breakfast. Famished and seriously confused, we headed to a nearby hotel to eat. The next on the agenda was a hike. I gather the only directions I have and suprise suprise, they lead us to no where and we had to stop and ask. Seriously!! After I about died hiking halfway up the mountain, we get to our destination: Mary Jane Falls. Umm... No. More like Mary Jane drip. All the sweat and panting for a trickle down the side of the mt. Yes, that is me in the pic next to the drip. So the suprise didn't go exactly how I imagined it and we had a few road blocks, but the weekend ended up being a blast!

That was hilarious. It seems like nothing goes right when you REALLY want it too. I couldn't quit laughing at the waterfall. Actually I never could really see the water, too funny!
That's funny! Good story! I'm excited for you to come here, maybe we can go hiking and see a REAL waterfall... heheheh
You're so funny! Glad your weekend was fun despite all of the stuff that went wrong. Isn't it the thought that counts sometimes. XOX
