Visit: Lake Tahoe & Reno

The drive from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe/Reno doesn't compare to the natural beauty you see driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, but still it is a nice a one.
 
 
The first stop was Lake Tahoe, where summer ensued; beach, bumming and kayaking.
 
 
Leaving Tahoe and on our way to Reno to gamble, we stopped at one of my favorite fast food joints, In-and-Out Burger. I never had the Animal Fries before so now was the time to try them. Sadly I was not too fond and will stick to the plain kind next time, but as always, the burger was on point and I was able to order at my requested temperature (which most FF won't let you do).
 
 
In Reno, we stayed at Atlantis which is a ways away from heart of the action of Reno, but still a nice hotel and casino that offers everything one could need allowing it to stand on its own away from the city lights.
 
 
Gambling (winning and mostly losing) in Reno was fun, but don't ever make a trip here unless you happen to be in the area; it definitely does not compare to Vegas.

Product Review: Andovia's Dead Sea Salt Soap


 
This soap has a nice subtle scent that is perfect for those with perfume allergies like myself. The soap further impressed me by giving a nice lather, great body wash, and to top that off without leaving a residue or drying out my skin. Texture wise it is a harder soap which makes it last longer and not melt in the shower like some others.
 
For me, Andovia's Dead Sea Salt Soap gives me the essence of having a salt scrub, but without the mess!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Zero Zero Restaurant - San Francisco, CA

After a drive through San Francisco seeing all the sight, scene and neighborhoods.

 
 

It didn't feel right to conclude a trip to San Francisco without a taste of its other famous cuisine, Italian. I was having trouble find the right spot because of times and my own constraints and thus we ended up choosing Zero Zero.

The restaurant had a lad back vibe, but was still classy. The service echoed the same sentiment as well.
 

I am Lemonade junkie and I had to try their Basil Lemonade. It was very refreshing! It had sweetness but upheld its tartness (which is the way I like it).

 
My fiancé had the Castro Pizza. It appeared to be Coal fired grilled and so was pretty solid.

 
I had the Rigatoni with Slow Cooked Ducked. The duck was true to its word and very tender. There was no sauce but the flavors from the duck, bacon, etc made it taste wonderful.

 
I was tempted to go for dessert but didn't. I should have because I really enjoyed my meal.
