X on the C

This weekend we took a short bus ride with a group of friends the Virginia City's Annual Christmas on the Comstock.  For those of you who don't know, Virginia City is a 19th Century Mining Town that once was quite an important gold settlement.  150 years later this City still has all the old mining town charm with killer saloons to boot.  I enjoyed Hot Chocolate and Tomato Juice.  Its fun being the only sober person.  Are you catching a hint of sarcasm?...cause I'm laying it on pretty thick.

We we're supposed to wear funny hats.  Matt is the only one who took the challenge seriously.  Me being his wife, believed him.  This is the last time I listen to him.  This stupid hat was not as warm as it looked and my face looks FAT.

The Parade was nothing short of Awesome.  It included Cowboys, people dressed up like Doc Holiday and some other old timers that are rumored to have dwelled in VC, old jeeps and VW's decorated to the Holiday Nines, and Donkeys and Miniture horses decorated with chrismas lights, antlers, and tinsel.  That of course, was my favorite part.  One guy jumped into the street to hug one of the donkeys.  At first I thought that was strange, but then, I wanted to hug the donkey too.  I didnt do it.  This of course makes me sad.

The night continued on in typical partying fashion (as is common in our group) with slurring speech, dancing and pizza eating well into the night.  I was happy to catch a ride home with one of our friends and avoid that ride on the bus home.  Not sure I could have handled everybodies booze breath, something I've become very sensative to this days.

Happy Holidays!
