Weekend Getaway

This weekend Jared's brothers and their wives and us, went on an overnight vacation. The kids all stayed with grandma and grandpa and we took off about lunch time on Saturday. We headed to Wendover Nevada.

There really isn't anything to do wendover, for those of you who haven't been. It's a bunch of Casinos and a concert hall. We go for the concerts. This weekend we saw Larry the cable guy. He was hilarious!

On our way there we got caught in a Salt storm. Yeah, you read that right, a salt storm. To get there we have to drive through the salt flats created by the great salt lake. So the wind starts blowing and the salt starts flying. There is little visibility and it's creepy. The sky takes on an almost green hue.

Once there we enjoyed buffet eating, laughs and a little penny slot action. We played $5 and lost most of it. Then gave the little we had left to my SIL and she doubled it. It was fun to be away!

The salt storm blew out the power though and from 3:30pm until about 8 am we had no power, but the casino did! It made for a very interesting trip.

All in all, we love any excuse to get out of town and enjoy ourselves. And that is exactly what we did.
