Traveling Thoughts

My experience with slot machines before Vegas was unsatisfying. I can remember when I turned 21, deciding that I was going to one of our many local casinos, and that I was walking in with $20 and I’d walk out when it was gone. I sat down at the penny slots, I couldn’t figure out why people were excited about the penny slots, they were boring. So I moved onto the nickel slots, they were just as boring, I just didn’t get it. So after 15 minutes, bored out of my mind, I walked out of the casino with a little more than $7 dollars. As I was walking out, I took it upon myself to decide that that kind of boredom was something I didn’t ever want to experience again, and that casinos weren’t for me.

Enter Vegas 5 years later.

After peeps were ordering drinks and paying outrageous amounts of money for them, Colleen suggested we go sit down at the slots and start playing because then the little waitress ladies would come to us and ask us what we wanted to drink and we’d get it for free. We went and sat down at the slots.

Now, I hadn’t ventured to slots since my first experience when I was 21, so this was new to me because all the people around me were excited, or drunk, or both, but they were way into it so I put in a $20 and began playing. I walked out with like $15.87 cents on a paper thing, and then I proceeded to loose it. And that was from the second $20 that I dropped into the machine.

Alli, next to me, she’s way cool :) She’s also a photo fiend, so I have to thank her for like 90% of the photos I’ve used on this Vegas trip.

I told her, when she came up to take this picture, “I hate being in pictures” her response, gotta love her “oh well, you’re in this picture” it made me laugh.
