Mesquite

Jill called me at work friday and insisted that we get away for Memorial Day weekend. Of course I did not hesitate, I don't get out that often. Sounded like a good opportunity.

We ended up going with Jill's daughter, her husband, their son and his wife.

When we got there around 2 or 3, it was raining, so Ev and I took a tour of the Virgin River Casino facilities. I actually kind of started to feel sick to my stomach. The place was pretty raunchy. We played a little ski ball in the arcade. The whole time I was preoccupied with thoughts of spraying the place down with Lysol! Then we watched a movie in the hotel room, which was followed by a lovely dinner in the hotel restaurant. You can never go wrong with french toast. A few of our fellow diners got sick that night.

Sunday was a little better. We sat by the pool at another casino (Casa Blanca) for most of the day. Oh how I wished we were staying there instead! I did get a chance to do a little gambling while Ev was by the pool with g and g. No winning for me. Oh well.

Monday was time to go home! We had a wonderful breakfast at Mc Donald's, then hit the road. Ev was going stir crazy in the car, and Doug almost fell asleep at the wheel. Oh yeah, and Jill thought she needed to out sing whatever was playing on the stereo. We did however arrive safely at about 4:30.

The whole point of this blog is more for my own personal journaling sake. I can look back at it and tell myself just how lucky I am NOT having to live in Mesquite!!!
