Date Night

I have to tell you that last night Matt and I had the best date night ever. His mom was kind enough to watch the kids short notice and we headed to Spirit Mountain Casino for seafood buffet night. It took us about 45 minutes to get there and we only had to wait in line about 5 minutes to get seated and start in on chow. It was awesome! It cost 17.95/each and was worth every penny to watch Matt indulge in more seafood choices then I have seen in one place.. maybe ever?

After dinner we went to play the slots.. we like the penny slots, lasts longer :) We wasted some money there and then played a community slot.. where if someone hit bonus all players got to play monopoly and the everyone got a prize. It was really fun. Matt won $35 and said we should try something crazy with it. Soo.. first we tried our hand at blackjack and lost terribly. I ended up with $4.50 and he has $6.. guess I should mention we brought $100 of Christmas money to use and that was it. So we were getting pretty broke. So I told Matt to get me a $5 chip and I went to the roulette table where I promptly lost the $5 on black.. oops.

This is where our night gets real interesting and fun. We broke our own budget rule and I told Matt to give me the $20 I knew he had hidden away in his wallet :) With a "trust me babe" lol.. with it I went back to the roulette table and played the numbers.. I played kids b-days and birth weight and guess what?????? I walked away from the table with $140!! WOOHOO!! :) I gave Matt $20 to replenish that which I stole.. then let him blow $20 on a high stakes slot pull.. so all in all we left the casino with the exact same $100 we walked in with!! Free dinner and entertainment, does it get any better than that?!?!?!

It was fun. Lots and lots of fun. We don't get a whole lot of alone time and we enjoyed every second. Poor kids, we didn't get back to pick them up until 10:30 -- they were pooped but had a great time at grandma's house.

Here is the promised video :) Jonathan dancing and watching Grover.
