Quin's entire extended family lives in Reno, NV and every year they hitch up their trailers and camp out at the lake for a week together. This year we decided to buck-up and make it happen (with a two-month old in tow). It was nuts, but it was so much fun! Seriously, my kids could play in dirt, sand and water everyday for the rest of their lives, so they were in heaven.

4.5 hour drive to Dallas + 3 hour flight to Reno + 1.5 drive to Lake Lahontan + 1 week in a trailer on the beach with a DOZEN other trailers full of Parks' = worth it!
(factor in the 1.5 hour drive back to Reno + the 3 hour (plus) flight back to Dallas + the 4.5 hour drive back to Houston = still worth it)
