Our Mini-Vacation

We are in the middle of our February mini-vacation. We are at Joe and Ashley's home right now, after spending a couple of days at the Radisson Hotel in Salt Lake City. Joe's house is cold. Warm upstairs, but it's cold downstairs. We are sleeping on a queen sized air mattress that loses air during the night, so we wind up sagging into the middle and then we wake up and have to pump it up some more. I'm not complaining, because it's my air mattress. Who can I complain to?

So far we have had a good time. We went to Wendover, UT/NV a couple of days ago and played the slot machines, which got kinda boring fairly quickly. It was an hour and a half drive each way, with several billboards warning you not to fall asleep. We saw a couple of wrecks, so I guess some people were ignoring the billboards. Wendover, on the Utah side, doesn't have any casinos, and the Nevada side has casinos even in the gas stations. There's not much to do there if you don't gamble. It was a lot of driving for a little fun. We played penny slots mostly. Cathy won over $25 on a dollar investment with one of the machines, which was better than me. I am a loser. Overall, we broke slightly better than even, we think.
