Wendover Fun & Not

Our newest set of friends Zach & Staci invited us out to Wendover for Staci's 21st birthday. I made it my personal mission to make sure she took 21 shot for her 21st birthday. Only because a friend did the same thing for me. Kris and I got off work at 3 and had our old room-mate Dave come and pick up Cooper. It gets harder to leave him behind because he is so attached to me. His hysterical bawling makes my heart break. Anyway on our way out we picked up a coke and took a couple of swigs off of it and filled up the gap with Captain! Ummmm good
Kris got the Mazda up to 119 mph on the straight before the gov. kicked in. Its amazing because out there I never would have realized how fast we were going because that car rides so smooth. Obviously we made record time. We checked in and when we walked in was I suprised! Kris splurged and got the suite. It had a very nice jetted tub in it. He said he knew that I would love to take a bath in it so he paid the extra money. He is the sweetest man!
After we got settled we met up with the group of friends and got on the shuttle to head over to the Rainbow. (my fav place to gamble) From there on out we kinda split up and played Black Jack, Three Card Poker, and slots. After a few hours of playing we got a few of us together to go eat and absorb some alcohol. Unfortunately our dear friend Zach was WAY beyond gone at this point and his dad was nice enough to take him back to their room so Staci could stay with us and keep drinking her way to 21. After dinner we headed over to the Nugget to cash in a couple of tickets and then walked across the over street walkway. Well everyone wanted to do a cartwheel so there we were doing cartwheels. Thank fully we were the only ones on it. Then Josh and Kris raced to the casino floor. Kris was ahead and thought it was a good idea to do a victory jump and skip the last 4 stairs. NOT a good idea when intoxicated or ever really. Thankfully he just sprained his ankle and we helped him back to our room. That was really the end of the night. Buzz kill!
Kris was in so much pain in the morning that he woke up at 7a.m.! Not fun for me I wanted to sleep in because there was no baby around. After fighting sleep for a while we got up and called Zach & Staci to see if they wanted to hit up breakfast. Then a little gambling and then home.
It was so much fun to take an overnight trip. I really like when I have fun like that. Usually I dont. I am always babysitting drunk Kris.
