Wendover... Show me the MONEY!

Or, not. I guess I shouldn't have set my standards so high! For our main anniversary gift, Nate and I gave each other the gift of a short little trip to desolate Wendover, Nevada. My parents, and my cousin Jared all packed into our Kia Sorento and joined us on our little excursion to nowhere.

Our hotel was so interesting... The "pool" was the size of a large bathtub, and the sheets came equipped with small little burnholes! It was great fun! The good news is, our room stayed mighty chilly, so we were definitely comfortable. The really good news is the lobby had a waffle maker! It was one of those flipper machines that allows you to make golden beauties like this one:

Enough about the hotel! To make a long story short- The penny slots stole my money. It may have been the neon enviornment that made me so unlucky...

I don't know what it was but every time I touched a machine the generosity in it dissappeared. I won not even a dime! Nate did much better than I did, he had a really good time, and found a slot he made friends with. He called it the "kitty machine". It screwed Jared and me, but for some reason, it really liked Nate. This is it.

Where did we spend our first anniversary dinner at you ask? Well, it was very fancy, and extremely exclusive... Pizza Hut! Okay so it may not be fancy, and we may have been the only people there, BUT it was very tasty, and great fun.

In the couple hours we spent in the casinos, I have one major complaint... I was never given a beverage! Everyone around me was fully hydrated, I on the other hand was quite parched. I simply wanted a diet coke, but no, not for me! The waitresses must have sensed my unlucky streak and decided I wasn't worth the buck. I lived, and got a beverage as soon as we left from the nearest gas station!

We had a great time! It was the best trip a 1st year veteran couple could ask for! My parents, and Jared helped make it even more fun. Thanks for coming with us!
