Another Road Trip!

Tuesday ....

I got up and got my dishes done, ran the vacum and got the RV all cleaned up. Since i didn't do any cleaning on Monday except for the dishes. After getting my cleaning done, i got dressed and about 10 mins later Tammy stopped by and asked if i would ride with her and the kids. Of course i said YES!!

We went and checked out some more of the local stores. We came home later in the afternoon and i laid down on the couch to rest a bit. All this running around wears me out so much!!

My evening was spent lazying around and watching the tube.

Wed ....... another road trip

Steve came by yesterday evening and asked if i wanted to take a trip and of course i said yesssssssss. He needed to go to the VA and get his monthly med's and groceries. So we got up very early and made the 4 hour trip. I dropped him off at the base and went to play. My first stop was at the Veiw Casino, wow it was amazing and packed. I spent a few hours there and then Steve called me to come pick him up. I left the view and picked up Steve and then we headed to the Hard Rock Casino for lunch. It was a great lunch and Steve wanted to play some. So i watched him, as i have never really been a gambler. He left the machine he was playing and moved to the next one and i decided while i was sitting at his old machine i'd put in a few bucks and play. I put in $20 and it kept teasing me with the lucky 7's, so i decided to put $5 more in and that was gonna be my limit. I was done to 2 spin's and behold the machine started going crazy. I told Steve i think i broke the machine it's making all kinds of noise. He laughed and said no .. you hit the big jack pot!! A attendant came and told me to stay there, she got another lady and they handed me $279 bucks!! & a T-shirt.

Congratulated me and then one of the ladies reset the machine and i had to finish playing it. I gave Steve the $79 as he had lost $80 in the machine. He refused at first and i insisted. Then we decided to walk around a bit more and Steve stopped at another to try it out and i decided to walk around the corner and try another machine. I put in $3 and on the first spin the machine went crazy. I hit another jack pot! Steve came over and couldn't believe it. I won $97 on that one. I got my money and decided to sit next to Steve. I decided while wating on him that i would put $7 of the money i'd won into that machine and i had 2 spins left again and i hit on the machine. I won $69 on it. So in a days time, i did pretty good. I won $427, take away the money i invested in the machine & the money i gave Steve back, i walked away with 313 to the good, plus i never lost any of the money i started with. Unforuntally Steve couldn't say the same, he lost $120 bucks today! I offered to split my winnings and he refused. It was a great day and i enjoyed touring the place and seeing all the guitars and outfit that famous singers have worn or played. It's a really nice place and plan to take hubby some time. He will love it. I don't beleive Gamblings is something i'd want to do all the time, as watching Steve lose his money was no fun at all. When i was winning it was fun, but it wore off fast.

Steve and I made the long trip back home and by then it was time for dinner, so i made a pot of chili. Took a shower and headed to bed, i was exhausted. Sorry no pictures, Steve said he didn't think they allowed them inside.
