Spent Thursday night at the Peppermill Casino in Wendover. Neither of us had been there before. We took a certain amount of money to gamble with and agreed that when it was gone... it was gone. We managed to amuse ourselves for 7 hours! George has the touch... Man... every machine he played he was winning. My luck was not as good but I had a lot of fun. Except they allow smoking in the casino.... I had the worst headache! Oh I hate the smell of cigarettes!!
We also amused ourselves for several hours at Nickel Cade. Wow... some of the arcade games there are so OLD!!! (Pac Man, Space Invaders)... we had a blast!! Again.... real cheap entertainment.
My our favorite place is Fat Cats. It's got pool, bowling, arcade, and the one in Ogden has mini golf. I didn't see golf at the SLC one. But we played arcade games and won 1470 tickets!!!! The kid at the ticket place said he had never seen anybody win that many tickets before. George picked out a lamp and told me to give it to David. (Its like a flashing intersection light).
Lots of families at Fat Cats. I just love that place. It's clean. It's fairly new. Its affordable. We had a blast. We planned to take David there, but I guess we will do that next time. He was busy out driving the roads all weekend.
I dropped George off at the airport yesterday and cried for 4 hours. LOL. I hate goodbyes.
He gave me the coolest gift. One of the guys he lives with in Kauai had a HUGE bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey (I think it's whiskey) anyhow... He gave George the empty bottle and George washed it out and had used it as a bank. He had a $100 bill inside, and $20s and tons of change. This thing must have weighed like 30 pounds. And he brought it home to me and said, "Here sweetie, this should cover your car repairs." (I had to spend $280 on tire alignments and stuff recently.) But he said I could NOT smash the bottle to get the money out. I had to figure a way to get it out so we can reuse that bottle for our "Go back to Wendover" fund for his birthday if he is here.
It took me TWO hours last night but I got all the money out and there was over $310!!!!
That was like the funnest gift he could have given me!!!
