Viva Las Vegas

Get down, get down! Look at Tif dancing like wild. I wasn't able to convince anyone that she was the only sober one out there! This weekend we went to Las Vegas, a trip we were planning long before we learned about the incoming family member. We went with our friends Daryl and Tammy, who almost has her own room at Harrah's. Tif and I aren't huge gamblers or drinkers, but it was fun for both of us to nap during the day and stay up late at night. Tif even had her drink of choice, half cranberry juice, half water. It keeps you from bloating and you look like you're enjoying a vodka cranberry. I had a bit of "baby luck" on the slots. One machine would not stop giving me money. Another Wheel of Fortune slot spit out a hundred bucks. All said and done, I was up about 350, which recoups my lifetime gambling losses. It paid for part of the trip, a buffet round, and an ornament for the Christmas tree. The drive home was good and we only had to put up with 2 hours of traffic between the Cardinals and the Nascar race in town. The trip was well worth it, especially when I forgot about the hundred bucks I had stored in my pocket. The laundry has never been that profitable!
