Went to the beach today. I swear that in the last four months of living in Portland I have gone to the beach more than during my eight years in Orange County. Bizarre... no? The family went to
Kings Beach on the northern shore of Lake Tahoe. We didn't stay too long - just long enough for me to burn the top of my forehead where I neglected to put sunscreen. Whoops. I stayed on the beach playing cards with my cousin and sister while the others rented jet skis and kayaks. We had a pretty crummy lunch at
Jason's Beachside Grille so that was a disappointment. The rest of the evening was spent taking family photos, playing UNO, and relaxing in the hot tub on the patio. Very nice day.
And once again I am at a loss for a decent media mention. I think it's only fair that after two days of mentioning this game, tonight's mention should be UNO. But I'll be more specific and talk about the Family Guy UNO edition which is what we have been playing in Tahoe (I also have the Simpsons edition at home in Oregon). Nothing too special to note about this version except that in addition to the "wild" and "Draw 4 wild" cards they have included a "Domination" card - with Stewie's picture, of course. This card acts as a wild card with the bonus feature of being able to block "draw 2" cards. Definitely a fun game to bust out on a rainy day.
