Woo Hoo!
Well, we had a great weekend away. I worked on Saturday. At 3, I came home, Karen had everything packed and ready to go, and we took off. 1 hour drive up to Hinkley. Checked into the hotel. Nice place. Big expansion, some 400 rooms when it's all done. Sometime Summer '07. The girls hit the pool right away, and I set off to make my fortune. About 3 hours later, and down 200 bucks, I turn around and see Karen and Maddie standing there. They are headed into the buffet. I decline, saying I'm not very hungry, and wouldn't be good company anyway.
I head up to the room, and start in on the Windsor, and beer..........heavy. I figure, I'm on vacation, and need to improve my mood. I'm here for fun, and I'd better shape up. I start watching the coolest infomercial for a '70s music collection, and before long, I'm Dancin' on the ceiling. (ok, that was '84, but you get the point). The girls come upstairs, we change, and back to the pool. I swam for a bit with them, and then we all retired upstairs.
A little more tv, and then off to bed. I woke up, around 3:30, and sneak back down to the casino floor. I amble(pr. stumble) over to a blackjack table that is full, and watch hand after hand being won, while I'm forced to wait my turn. I finally get my chance, sit down, and loose 7 straight hands, to the tune of 60 bucks. I'm pissed. I get up, and head back to the dollar slots. I sit down at a machine, and look to my left. That woman hits 500 bucks. I keep loosing 1 dollar at a time. Then, this chick sits down to my right, and on her 3rd pull, hits 350.
I get up, make a loop, and spy this machine. It was the one I had won 150 bucks on our last trip. I sit down, sigh, and look at my last 6 dollar coins in my cup. It only took 3...............Jackpot.
Yep. (not the biggest, 'cause I was only playing 1 credit per pull) but I hit. 1800.00 bones. Wow.
Went back upstairs, and Karen heard me come in........She says......"Well?"
Needless to say, it was high on the hog, for the rest of the trip.
Paid the entire weekend in (their) cash. Ate well.
Next, we left for Duluth, checked in, and spent the rest of the time, playing in the water park, going out to eat, watching Nascar, and drinking beer.
Good times, good times. Gave Savannah 200 bucks. The Golf show is this weekend, and we have booked a hotel in downtown Minneapolis for that. Squirreled a few bucks away for a rainy day.
What an awesome weekend. Nat., sorry, we never did venture around town to look for the rock, but we'll be back.
Well, I've had problems with my pc since we came home. I don't know what happened. There was a message that I got automatic Windows updates, and nothing has worked since. I can't connect to any servers, and am surprised, I can even get here.
No Photobucket, so apparently no pictures. Oh, well.
