Day 299 - Travel Day 3 - Casino

I got my gambling addiction honestly from both my parent.  For my fathers 85th birthday he wanted to go to the casino.  As I had already recently been to Las Vegas, I purposely did not bring money to gamble with - I just couldn't bear the idea of losing another XXX amount so I was just going to follow my fathers lead.  It was his birthday and I thought I would stay close to him and hope that some luck would rub off on me. 

So we said that we would come over after he got up and C told us that he usually got up between 7-8, so we were up at 7 and went for coffee.  No sooner had we walked out the door (7:05) we got a call from C saying that he was awake, he would eat get dress then be ready to go.  We figured what an hour, so we went and got our coffee, and not more then 10 minutes later did we get a call asking where we were.  He was VERY EXCITED.  So we downed our coffee as quickly as we could and rushed off to pick him up for his very fun time at the casino. 

We arrived at the casino about 8:45, so neither our rooms NOR the casino was open.  This was the first casino I had been to that wasn't open 24 hours a day.  T2 said that she would talk with them about getting the room set up as soon as possible and to go on without her.  I know that she isn't big with the whole casino thing, so it was me, dad and J who I later learned loves to gamble as much as my father.

Unfortunately my battery is dying so I will post the pictures later - they will tell the story better then I ever can.  But to summarize - I was up I was down  I was really down, but the birthday boy held his own - martini and all.
