At @hardrockcafe in #southlaketahoe you can enjoy

At @hardrockcafe in #southlaketahoe you can enjoy the first and only #seafoodbar in the area. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs make our #seafoodboil and #clamlinguini in their #openkitchen. Because it’s first come first serve, we walked around admiring the #musicmemorabilia #rihanna @jamesbrown @elvis @madonna

Watching your child race #sbx always gives me ulce

Watching your child race #sbx always gives me ulcers. Broken arms. Concussions. Prayers for our teammates who endured injuries. This season my son joins his big sister @ko_snowboarder and the @squawalpine @svam_snowboardteam #snowboardcross #skicross team who earned 20 Medals on Saturday and 14 on Sunday.

Gratitude to Coach Mort, @nateholland and Mike for the confidence & courage you’ve instilled in our kids. I am blown away by how much they learned since December. I’m also thoroughly impressed as always by @usasasouthtahoe @actionjet who runs incredibly organized races and goes out of her way to find the best #swag ! My son is enjoying his @blackstrap beanie. #kosnowboarder makes breakfast for us before she starts school with her waffle maker and she even made her younger sisters happy by gifting them the #blackstrap pink goggle socks and buff.

During my stay @renrenodowntown when I needed to take a break and get some inspiration, I would walk through their #artgallery. This one is called #poplar crowd acrylic n canvas. Artist #davidmccamant ! You can rent out bottom floor which has bar and dining space. There is an artist installation there (2nd photo). The hotel invites #artists to paint their walls!

What’s happening on ur #valentines ? @ko_snowboa

What’s happening on ur #valentines ? @ko_snowboarder (my daughter who never wins any #swag at @usasasnow #races) won this #wafflemaker last weekend from @usasasouthtahoe @actionjet @sierra_at_tahoe and bronze medals in #giantslalom and #slalom . The first #waffles she made were for her little sister who is allergic to eggs, dairy, shellfish and nuts. Then she made a batch for the rest of the family.

Found an amazing #working #writing space @renrenod

Found an amazing #working #writing space @renrenodowntown @renotahoe ! I’m told this is the #bestroom #renaissancereno which can function as #flexcation #artstudio overlooking Truckee River. I’m working on my memoir here but the hotel also offers blank canvas, acrylic paints, vision-boards, spray paint or any other mediums upon request. There’s a separate bedroom with King size bed with a window to the river and a living room area that’s three times the size of the bedroom and includes a large kitchen counter which I used to spread out all my drafts. #writinginspiration #workspace #nevada #renotahoe #renotahoeusa @renotahoe @deckerroyal #hotellife #hotelroomview #hotelroom #hotelgram

This is the “Smoke on the Water” #cocktail ... the waiter is using a #bubblegun filled with bubblegum flavor to create a #vaporfilled #bubble ! The rest of this cocktail includes #empressgin #coconut #nigari #sake with #italicus #bergamotto #rosalio and #canton #ginger #liqueur and #lemon #juice and #xocolatl #mole #bitters . At the #redbloom in @atlantiscasino you can taste this unique cocktail with #pekingduck #ramen #dandannoodles and #baobuns (choose between roasted duck, crispy pork belly, fried tofu, soft shell crab or braised short rib) #atlantiscasino

Had a chance to give you a tour of one of the few

Had a chance to give you a tour of one of the few #spas open since June in #reno #nevada. Check out why #spaatlantis is one of the #topten spas in the world and the only @forbestravelguide #fourstar #spa in the area.
-while u wait for ur appointmt, relax in their Aqua Spa Lounge which has jetted #pools of varying temperatures to invigorate ur body and strengthen ur immune system and four shower experiences: ice fog, tropical rain, thunderstorm & waterfall (closed at the moment)
-That’s the cold plunge pool
-Laconium Relaxation Lounge: dry heat to purify and detox body (closed at the moment)
-Brine Inhalation Light Therapy Lounge: not pictured because it was closed but I wanted to mention it because it’s the only brine wall in northern Nevada. The salt aerosols expand ur lungs and relaxes u!
-The two videos walk you through their tea lounge (which normally has refreshments) and steam room and cedar #sauna (all closed at the moment)
-The Rasul Ceremonial Chamber: I’ll be returning to try this out w/my husband. It’s modeled after an ancient #arabian royalty cleansing ritual. You sit on a throne and apply six healing muds or fruits/oils while the chamber fills w/rain or aromatic infused steam!
-There are 16 treatment rooms, 30 massage therapists and 5 aestheticians.
-I’m trying the Rejuvenating #microcurrent #facial. For 90 minutes, my aesthetician cleansed my pores, extracted 7 #milia, layered mask after mask on my face made of plants like #stonecrop . I also experienced a #cbd #massage and #pedicure ! One way to get the writing muse inspired. @atlantiscasino #atlantiscasino #atlantiscasinoresort #atlantiscasinoresort

The #strawberry #basil #caipiroska with #vodka and

The #strawberry #basil #caipiroska with #vodka and lime plus their melt in the mouth #chileanseabass with a sautéed prawn and crab mashed potatoes (bite-sized chunks of crab meat) from #bistronapa @atlantiscasino was well worth the drive to #reno. Upon entering the #resort you stand in front of an automated temperature screening kiosk, masks are required and occupancy reduced to 50% in #casino and #restaurants. Room service was all served in disposable paper containers or plates.
