Weekend in Vegas

This past weekend Leah, mom, and I flew up to Las Vegas (sans kiddos) to visit the little sister Kathleen. Her soon to be inlaws were throwing her a bridal shower, but it was to be held in Bakersfield, CA. We arrived in Vegas and immediately hit the road for a 4 hour drive to Bakersfield, where we met most of Brandon's family at a local mexican restaurant. After the bridal shower the following day, we all loaded up in the car and made the long trek back to Vegas. Finally, the gambling could being. As I had never really gambled before, I promptly lost a bunch of money on the roulette table and quickly figured out that I am pretty lucky on the slots. I hit a $45 jackpot on the nickel slots, and later hit a few more smaller jackpots. Oh man, I am I hooked. We had a blast.

And finally we get to it, the roulette table. I kept betting on 17 (for Sadie's birthday), and as soon as I would bet on something else, 17 would hit. This happened 3 times, I nearly barfed.
