Hello, those who want to know about the trip! I just wanted to tell you all what has been going on with Lee and me. His birthday went great, we went to Vegas and stayed in a cute motel called Las Vegas Club. We really liked it, in fact we liked it a lot better than Circus, Circus. It was a lot cleaner and a lot more relaxed feel to it. The only thing I didn't like was their casino didn't have the best air filtration system so it was a little smokey around the crap tables and all that. But once you moved into the slots it was better. The casinos we liked the best were: Lady Luck, Horseshoe, Fremont, and the one that was all about leprechaun but I can't think of the name of it right now. Lee played mostly the table games while I did the slot machines with the games built into them. The ones I won the most money on were an Elvira game and one about fire fighters. My biggest pay out was $90.00. if I counted up all my winnings it would be somewhere around $200 bucks. But I of course gave them their money right back. I guess my manners got the best of me. One day Lee was up $700. but he of course did the same as me. As it turned out, we broke just about even. On Lee's birthday we went to this WONDERFUL seafood Buffett it was great. All the shrimp and crab legs you can eat for only $8. They had Shrimp thingytails, fried shrimp, beer battered, scampi, crab cakes(the best I've ever had), grilled Maui-Maui, Crab legs, oh and so much more it was great. We caught a comic show that was cute, a few bands and one I'm very hesitantly call a band. Light shows oh and the best was they had the casinos all closed in together kinda were you were outside and all but there was this fiber optic roof over you. And they would put on this show, it was music video of the beach boys kinda. It was their music and them singing but the videos were like of the ocean and one was a beach and ships coming in. All kinds of stuff like that it was really neat. We met some really funny people and a few strange ones. Oh there was this one lady her name was Caroline. She was great 57 years young about to retire in a week, married to a 25-year-old and just found out she was pregnant. She was so funny she grew up in Mississippi and said she was moving back just as soon as she was retired! She grew up on a plantation there and really misses that life. The only bad part was somehow I came down with the flu the last 2 days we were there. Now Lee is kinda having a cold. We are getting better though. We missed Mekko terribly while we were gone but he had fun. He got to play with some big dogs. He's glad to be home though now. He hasn't gotten off me yet. He barley lets me take a shower, he didn't think it was very cool of his parents to run off and leave him. Jules is being more of a love bug too. Guess, she missed us too. I got back to find my snails laid some more eggs, so I'll see when they hatch. Pokie our Betta died on us though. I guess he caught something while we were gone. He hadn't been doing too well though the last few months, his color had been fading I tried meds but they weren't helping. The goldfish are great though. Happy as ever and man are they getting big. I'm going to have to get a bigger tank for them. Well now that I've board the heck out of all my friends I'll let you go. Have a great day!
