Leaving the eWomenNetwork Reno/Carson/Tahoe/Vegas/Sierra Nevadas Chapter dinner event tonight as I walked outside I was overcome with feelings of gratitude and love for this AWE-some city and state I call home and for the beautiful and amazing people I have surrounded myself with – my two kids, my eWn Friends and my Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society Family! WOW . . . what an adventure y’all!

Thomas and Camilla May 2022 Date Day

May 7 2022

Thomas and Camilla May 2022 date day was yesterday.

Lunch at Là Mint. Then watching the new Marvel movie, Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

We both enjoyed it. But we also both feel it wasn’t the best, or our favorite. It will make much more sense to those who’ve watched the Wanda series.

I like the older ones better. Thomas says that’s because they’re more down to earth.

Thomas and Camilla March 2022 Date Day

Thomas and Camilla March 2022 Date Day

A walk on a favorite trail, a place which holds many memories.

Ending with vegan sushi for dinner. The owner/sushi chef is incredibly kind, and knows her stuff. She made us a dish, not on the menu, just a make in the moment dish, according to what we had been ordering.

The Sweet Lover dessert roll was amazing, and I’m glad she suggested we split one, instead of ordering two rolls. She even made Thomas a complementary roll to go. I am incredibly full!

Thomas and Camilla February 2022 Date Day

Thomas Darnell and Camilla February Date Day

First stop: Vegan sushi heaven. Over 30 different sushi rolls to choose from, with 3 or 4 vegan appetizers. Sushi menu included for those who are local. Thomas had all you can eat. I ordered individual items as I just can’t eat enough for all you can eat. We will definitely be going back many times. 🥰😋🥰

Second stop: A walk around Geiger Way Lookout. Gorgeous with many warm memories. 👏🥰👏  I asked Thomas to take a photo, and he makes me look like a giant.

Thomas and Camilla January 2022 Date Day

January 28 2022

Thomas and Camilla January 2022 Date Day, er, as Thomas wants me to call it: Father and son bonding time. 😂🤣😂

Part 1: Lunch at House of Mexica. I think this may be the only all vegan menu restaurant in Reno. Everything on the menu is vegan. We ate outside with this lovely view.

Cheese God Chimichanga for Thomas. Asada tacos for me. Buffalo fries for both of us. The asada tacos and Buffalo fries are my favorite menu items so far.

Part 2: Cat toy shopping for Basil.

Part 3: A lovely walk to end the date.

Thomas and Camilla October 2021 Date Day

October 8 2021

Thomas Darnell and Camilla October 2021 Date Day

We began with lunch. Huge vegan burrito for Thomas. Veggie sushi with miso soup for me.
Next was a window shopping trio. First, electronics store where to my absolute delight I found a Pac-Man game. That was fun! The entire store disappeared and I was back in the 80’s at the mall, in the arcade with my best friend, Lillie, in Houma, Louisiana. Cool!

Second, the pet store. Chameleons are my absolute favorite. They seem to have so much personality! Last, the book store. Always a joy being surrounded by books!

We ended the date with a wonderful walk, sharing lots of memories.
