Vegas



I wanted to share with you about our great trip to Vegas. Bret arrived home on the 8th. We had planned to leave on Tuesday the 14th. Brayden came down with a stomach bug over the weekend. So I was not sure how he was going to do. Monday night at 10p I got a call from the people who were going to take Brayden saying they had a family emergency and could not take him till 3 or 4 on Tuesday. So I thought there was nothing that night I could do so the next morning I called my friend Rebecca who said no problem I will do what ever you need what a blessing. Ten minutes later our friends called back and said thing changes and they could take Brayden as planned. So great we are off to Vegas. We arrive in Vegas around 2 and check in. We than decide we will go down and walk around the hotel. We see happy hour is going on at the Diablo’s Cantina. We are there for about ½ and the bar tender asks if I can help him. I say sure. So every half hour the happy hour special change so they have a woman get up on the bar a spin the happy hour wheel. I get up and spin the wheel as I get down from the bar I step on the stool and two men help me down I jump and my ankle twists sideways. I am flooded with pain and my eyes gloss over with tear as I try to walk back to our seat. I sit down look at Bret and he just shakes his head. I have another beverage and we leave. We than walk all over the strip about 2 hours later I tell Bret I have to sit down my ankle is killing me. We head back up to our room I lift up my pants to see that my ankle has now swollen up and looks like cankle. So I ice my canke for about an hour feel bad because we are in our room and it really hurts. I am now in need of some alcohol relief. We head down to get a bit in the cafĂ© and a drink. After dinner I decide I would like to play the slots and I am a big spender so I sit at the penny slots I put in my 2 dollars and two minutes later I win 225.00. I was so excited. Wednesday comes along my foot is now blue from the inside of my right foot all around the heel and across the top and hurts. But I don’t want to be a baby so we set off and walk all over and check out all the cool hotels and just enjoy spending time together again. Thursday is a good day Bret see’s that the Barrett-Jackson car auction is at the Mandalay bay hotel this now is a must to see. We spend several hours checking out many cars and taking pictures of all of them. When we return to our hotel I think lets take a romantic bath together that will be nice. Well not sure if my butt has gotten that big or what but it was a tight fit and not as romantic as I had hope. I move so we have more room and put my back to the faucet. As I go to get up out of the tub I jabbed my back with the faucet and am now bleeding. As we return from our weekend a bit richer and a bit banged up. All in all a good time.
