We're Back!

Vegas was so much fun! We had a really good time, and we're so glad we got the chance to do it. Thanks to Kortney and my mom and dad for taking care of the kids for us! Of course the pets too!
We got there friday night, and just wandered around our hotel for a while. Saturday, we got suckered into going to a time share presentation.....BIG mistake! It was the biggest waste of time EVER! The lady who was giving us the shpeal was really mad at us after we told her no too. It took almost 4 hours to do it. We got a free dinner out of it though, and $50 bucks. The only thing was that the money wasn't actual money. I thought I was going to get handed cash I could just stick in my pocket and be on my way. Nope. We got funny money. After we found out that we couldn't even cash it at our hotel like they told us we could, we walked 3 miles (the lady told us it was only 1 1/2) to the Casino Royal to cash it. There the lady gave me chips. I asked her if I could just get cash, but she said no. So I had to use them on a table and I couldn't take them to a different casino. For those of you who have ever been to Casino Royal, it's really small and dinky and it's not very good. So I chose to play blackjack. It's pretty much the only one I know how to play. But I'd never played on a table before, and I didn't know the rules. Like how you're supposed to scratch the cards towards you when you want a hit, or put them under your bet when you stay. So I'm getting yelled at by the dealer (she was a real piece of work) and these nice ladies sitting next to me are trying to help me. I felt so dumb! Finally I just lost my money so I could leave! I wasn't planning on winning anything, I just wanted to get rid of it since they wouldn't give me cash. At our casino, I found a penny machine that I won $20 bucks off of. I couldn't go to Vegas and not even try a penny machine. I mean c'mon, it's a penny. And it payed off!
We did some shopping too. We didn't really buy anything since it's so expensive, but we had fun wandering through the shops.
So that pretty much sums up our trip. We had a lot of fun, and we're hoping we can go again soon!

It only takes one time to know the time share spills are just a waste of time. Now you know.... Glad you're back safe and sound. Your kids and pets were model prisoners...er I mean.. model citizens. Sorry Connor didn't sleep when you got back. He gave me a break because I told him how old and tired I am so he took pity. Thanks, sweet baby, Now give your mom a break. He just wanted to visit with you cause he missed you.
