Martin's mom is also a great cook. She loves food and loves trying different cuisines. She also loves to travel and see different places. When we are in CT she has our week jammed packed full of things to do, see, and eat. But it is with this love of food and traveling that we always seem to end up at her favorite place the casino. Well at least she tells us this is why we end up there...but I think it is really because of her dirty little secret....she loves to gamble!!!! Let me clarify, she isn't one of these gamblers that is in denial most of the times. You know the ones that say they win more than they lose, but in reality they have the house second mortgaged to cover their addiction. No she is quite aware that she is losing money most of the time and it is not a career choice or lifestyle. You will never find her at the high dollar tables like black jack but usually at the penny slots. I guess it is something about the neon flashing lights that scream JACKPOT or the bells and whistles that go off every ten minutes when some lucky fool has won a whopping $5 that really gets her going. We often laugh that Grandma is just playing a really expensive video game.
Now don't get me wrong we have a great time at the casino. And one might say...taking kids to a casino for a family vacation are you crazy?! But it is actually very very fun. The pools are always very nice. The food is fabulous (just ask my jeans!) and they have great arcades for the kids (this is where Jackson hits the JACKPOT). Also there has been many of time that we have gone and seen great bands and shows. It is like being on a cruise ship without ever leaving port and getting sea sick!
Thank you Grandma for a wonderful time!!! We love you!
