Back again!
Zomg it's been a while since I've posted in this blog. I've been blogging but I'm pretty sure I forgot about this spot here! I'm so blonde sometimes :)
So - I just got back from a week long cruise in and around Mexico with my hubby and 2 of my kids. We had a great time swimming in the gulf of Mexico, hanging out on the beach, shopping in Cozumel and bunches of other stuff!
As most of you who have been on a cruise know, generally there is a small casino onboard (unless you are taking the Disney cruise!) The casino opened up about 2 hours after we set sail and stayed open as long as we were at sea. I played slots mostly while the hubby played Craps. I did play a few hands of Caribbean stud poker, blackjack and 3-card Poker but the tables just weren't bringing me any luck so it was back to the slots for me.
For some reason all the slot machines seemed to be very tight until the last night onboard, then KaPow! they just flowed with quarters. As did the craps table. I sat down at a quarter slot machine with $10 and after hitting big payout after big payout, moving to another machine, getting paid and moving around some more, I had turned that $10 into almost $300 - not great but good. So the big deal was when the hubby, who didnt want to drop any more benjamins on the craps table decided to just start playing with his leftover chips from the previous evening, which was about $34. Now, most of you know that $34 isnt going to far on a $5 craps table but this table was HOT all evening! By 3am when the casino was closing (last night and getting ready to dock back at Galveston) my hubby, staggering a bit from all the Goldschlager shots (hehe) walked over to me and handed my $1109! Now that is what I call a comeback! He had won more than 32x his original buyin amount.
So - now we are home, with loads of great pictures, fading henna tattoos and mountains of laundry covered in saltwater and sand! God i need a vacation!
