Second 12

Okay, so I think not a lot of people connected with my humor on my last post... er... um.... s'okay, s'okay. I often laugh at things that no one else thinks is funny, that's okay.

We had such a great weekend. We took off Friday after work and headed down to St. George. We didn't know where we were going to stay, and we actually ended up staying at the Casablanca in Mesquite, NV. It was so fun! Friday night after we got there, I was so tired that I stayed in the hotel room and watched Conan and fell asleep. Geoff went down to the casino and won $100 bucks right off the bat on a penny machine, then another $100 bucks on a quarter machine. (He's got the magic touch, I think. I never win more than $5, it's really boring). And he stayed to watch the band until around 2:00 when he came to bed.

The next morning we ate at a breakfast buffet and drove back up to St. George and did a little shopping and stopped at the St. George temple visitor center. The weather down there is gorgeous right now!! A cool (but warm) 50 degrees. We drove back to Mesquite and Geoff went to play some more while I took a nap. Then we went to a dinner buffet at the Virgin River casino and kind of casino-hopped after that. We watched the bands at three different places, and I even learned how to play roulette. It's actually pretty easy, and fun. I think we won about another $200 altogether on roulette. We stayed the longest watching the band at the Casablanca and watched the drunk people dance. One girl even went onto the stage and started dancing around the singer until a security guard kicked her off, it was funny. There was one slower song, Sarah Smile, (I don't know the song but I guess Geoff loves it), Geoff asked me to dance so we danced to that one. We haven't danced since Geoff proposed, I felt a little tongue-tied like in jr. high, but it was fun. And Geoff totally led, I was very impressed.

Then around 2 a.m. we went out to the jacuzzi and there was no on else out there (the pool-area is beautiful, by the way. If only it were warm enough to go swimming). So we had the whole jacuzzi to ourselves. Then we went back inside, showered, watched TV for a little while and fell asleep. The next morning we went to a breakfast buffet and left to come home around 11.

So, though we ate at three buffets in two and a half days, at least that was all we ate. And I had the funnest time hanging out with Geoff and relaxing. What a good time.

It made it that much harder to come back to the long days of work and school, but so worth it. And the hotel room and the meals (and even, surprisingly, the gas) were so cheap that the trip paid for itself. I'd love to do that more.
