Elaine and I just returned home from a special way to celebrate a special occasion. March 30 was our 10th wedding anniversary and we had wanted to do something out of the ordinary for that event.

When we were married 10 years ago, we took a 19 day honeymoon in Southeast Asia, which included Hong Kong, China; Singapore, Malaysia; Bangkok, Thailand; and the last eight days at Bali, Indonesia.

Most interesting, we took my new mother-in-law, Mary Bottoms, with us!
I bet that very few of you took your mother-in-law on your honeymoon!

AA Gaming Inc., and its owner Alan Adams, negotiated a settlement in February with the Nevada Gaming Control Board that will result in a $2,000 fine and the loss of the company's unrestricted gaming license.

AA Gaming was issued a license in 2008 to operate slot machines in Doppelganger's in downtown Carson City. AA Gaming continued to operate the slot machines after the bar reopened as High Sierra Brewery under new owner Jim Phalan. Adams continues to own the building.

Adams also formerly owned half of the Carson Nugget Casino until it was purchased by the Mae Adams Trust.

Downtown Carson City celebrated the start of the holiday season with the annual Silver and Snowflakes Festival of Lights.

Streets were closed off as throngs of people gathered in front of the state capitol to watch as the lights for the two giant Christmas trees were turned on.

Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived on the back of an antique fire truck, with Mayor Bob Crowell riding shotgun. After the state's trees were turned on, the crowd headed over to the First Presbyterian Church where the city's Christmas tree was turned on.

The traditional lighting of the Christmas trees – both State and City – has been on-going here in the capital city for well over 22 years. This year, Silver & Snowflakes Holiday Tree Lighting is becoming a new tradition, Silver & Snowflakes Festival of Lights and it begins on Friday evening, December 2nd.

What do six months of record snowfall mean for South Lake Tahoe this summer? It translates to pure blue energy on and off the water, reports the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority.

The weather wasn't ideal on Memorial Day weekend, but it didn't dampen the spirits of 10 media professionals invited here by the Carson City Visitor and Convention Bureau to see what the area has to offer.

"I know they were all impressed with all that we have to offer our visitors," said Candace Duncan, CCVCB executive director.
