Our Anniversary

Thursday was our 4th Anniversary. However, John had to work yesterday, so we decided to go out last night. The kids went and slept over at Sandy and Dave's house and we drove out to Wendover, NV. We had never been before, and I had never seen a casino before (John used to play the slots and play bingo back in the day) so we headed out to check it out. It's only a couple hours a way. It was a nice drive there. It was wierd being without the kids, and it took a while for us to figure out what to really talk about since it isn't often that we find ourselves completely alone. I enjoyed it though. When we got there we went to the casino (and I am totally forgetting the name of it now. lame I know. If it comes back to me I will put it in here) it was neat. Everything was lit up with flourescent colored lights. There were tons of people there. The only thing I didn't like was all the cigarette smoke. There were spots we would walk through and it was like a cloud of smoke. We played some of the machines. I didn't try any table games or anything because I was pretty sure they weren't going to be playing crazy 8's or Go Fish, so I would have been lost. Haha! It was fun just wandering around like we were some childless couple for a few hours. After we lost all our money (yeah I said lost, but it wasn't much) we headed back home. We got home around 2am or so and totally crashed. I was so dead tired and we had to get up early so I could go get the kids cause Dave and Sandy had to be somewhere and I had made a dentist appointement for John for this morning at 8am, not knowing we would be going out. Sigh. So much for us ever doing anything well planned out. I told him I would like to go again sometime, but let's stay overnight. I think we could use an overnight away.
