Weekend Away...Still like Vegas



So this weekend I surprised Nick with a weekend away. The family that I have been tutoring for, got us a night stay at a place in Primm. I had never been there before and was excited for a weekend away from the city with just me and my hubby! We got there and shopped at the outlet mall. Then had dinner and hung out. Later that night, we decided to check out the other casinos. (all connected by a monerel) Nothing too exciting. Just drunks, gambling, and smoke. I thought we were getting away from that. So we decided to just get an ice cream and go back to the room. We went to Hagen Das and for one scoop of ice cream it was over $6. We decided to go to McDonalds instead and get a $1 hot fudge sundae. Much more our style. There was a red box there, so we got a movie and went back to our room. So much for the Sidwell's knowing how to party, I guess we are easy to please. It was nice to have some alone time together.

Only 2 weeks before we move. Anyone want 2 cute goldfish? They won't be coming with us. First one who wants them gets them. :)

That does sound fun. I have never actually stayed out at Primm. I have gone on the roller coaster though, and it is SO scary. Im thinking on the goldfish. They were so cute. Unless of coarse someone has already taken them. It was good to have you over for Hudsons Birthday. We love you guys.

Russ and I stayed there on our move out to California, and we had a blast. There wasn't a whole lot to do for us non-gamblers, but it was a fun getaway!
And yes, it's another girl!

John always has the hardest time splurging at IC shops. He just can't get the $2.50 price of a half gallon out of his head. He goes for quantity over quality. Once we even went to a supermarket to buy a half gallon and take it to our hotel room in Roosevelt and about half of it just melted away in the sink after we'd had our fill. But we only spent $2.50.
