Sad sign of maturity

So a couple of weeks ago Rob won some tickets on the radio. He is always winning something on the radio. He won tickets to see Jay Leno in Wendover. I was thinking way cool. We can run over see the show spend the weekend and do some MAJOR GAMBLING and playing. It seriously has been 10 years since I've been to Wendover. Sometimes I get homesick for Elko. ( I miss the friendships we built there) We made reservations for Saturday night at the Peppermill for after the show. Friday morning Rob called and said lets head out early and stay in Salt Lake Friday. So we left in the afternoon and met Amber to give her Mckoy (I was babysitting on my regular Friday off) and we headed to Maddox for the best steaks ever. How could anyone ever be a vegetarian? Seriously? Red meat is so lucious!!!! I could eat it everyday. We headed to Target and shopped and went to the mall and shopped. And Rob said "leave some money for GAMBLING!" Of course. We stayed at the Crystal Inn in Salt Lake and had a nice room. We had a jacuzzi tub in our room and a large comfy King size bed. Needless to say we slept very WELL!! We got up Saturday morning and headed to Wendover. I forgot how boring that road to NOWHERE is. Oh look honey more sand. I somehow feel bad that we moved from there and my kids did not get to take their Senior pics on the Salt with Gene Russell. Anyway moving along. We got to Wendover and drove around the town to see the new changes. (Runner said it had improved?) The whole 5 miles of town was still the same! Okay some additions and remodeling on the casinos. But seriously the new gravel in the park with new swings was it. How come I dont remember Nevada looking so so so UGLY and BLAH. I forgot how it is all gravel and cement. NO LAWNS!!!!!! So we eagerly head to check into our room. But first a quick stop at the spa to get a pedicure. Go ahead Rob and gamble for a couple of hours while I get pampered. When I was done being spoiled I met Rob in the casino. BORING!!! We just lost money and the Casino STINKS. Did it always smell that bad? I went all the time and took my LITTLE CHILDREN all the time. We ate there alot. We walked through those rows and rows of tables and slots. WHAT WAS I THINKING???? I could hardly wait to get to the show to see Jay Leno so we could sit in a NON SMOKING ROOM. The show was fun. He was funny and entertaining. But afterwards I could of drove to Salt Lake and stayed at the Crystal Inn again. We did some more Gambling (Is that what they call throwing your money away) It was not even fun. Because you can not even drop quarters in anymore. You can only put in paper money and when you win there is no CLINK CLINK just a ticket that prints and you have to cash it in to get your money. BORING!!! I must be turning into a boring MOLLY MORMON where was the fun in this? What happened to me in the last ten years. Where did I go or should I say DAMN I grew up! That was the weirdest weekend ever. Loved spending some one on one with Rob. We always love our time together. Loved talking about the past and planning for the future. But dang we got OLD, RESPONSIBLE, and CHURCHY. Not needing the gambling fix anymore. Next trip we'll see the show and have fun driving BACK TO SALT LAKE and spend the night there.
