Family's First Summer Getaway

It was a family getaway with my MIL.  We went to Oklahoma.  And it was my daughter's first summer outing too.  We went swimming.  She enjoyed swimming in the pool.  

There was a young boy playing with her in the pool.  He kept on moving closer to my little girl.  Of course, we did not like what the boy was doing.  When the young boy went away, my honey and I splashed in the water and played with our daughter.  There's a waterfall in the middle of the kiddie pool and she liked going there.

When the young boy came back and played with my baby girl, she wanted to kiss him now.  Hahaha!  I think that was funny because the young boy did not want to.  Cute.

The hotel resort is very accommodating.  The room rates are reasonable for a two-day weekend stay.  We were glad to have our booking confirmed because there were few rooms left in the last weekend of July.  Whew!  The resort is only an about an hour drive from where we live.  While I was walking at the hotel lobby, guests are coming in and the counter clerks are very busy checking them in.  At the lobby, there is a sculpted buffalo.  The water falls behind it dances with the light music playing in the background.

As usual, we "donated" something to the Indians during our stay. :)

Excited About Winning And Having Fun

We went to Oklahoma on our anniversary. We spent one day and one night at the hotel casino and resort in Durant. It was a beautiful day. The new casino and hotel is huge. I was very excited about the pool spa...and, of course, about winning in the casino.

But at nine o'clock in the evening, I was broke. Sheez! I did not even get the chance to play later than that with my couple of twenties. My honey had the same situation too. So we agreed to head to the room and watch a movie until we fell asleep.

The next day, still had the feeling of frustration, my honey tried his luck again while I, was enjoying the view and the water splashes in the resort. Before check out time, my honey came to me and we talked about going to Thackerville, Oklahoma. The goal was to enjoy our stay in Durant but we were just frustrated. So off we went to the casino in Thackerville which is about an hour away from Durant. We knew that we will have a good time there. I won back the twenties I lost and same thing with my honey. We felt better :)

Unexpected Luck

Oh yea...guess what? After meeting our friend in Dallas and all the errands, we went to Oklahoma. It was not a planned travel. We were just talking about going up there on a day off until we agreed to go up there this weekend.

I drove from Sherman to the casino in Durant. That was the second time I drove on a superhighway. Good thing it was not busy or else I had freaked out. Anyway, we arrived at the Choctaw casino at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I looked for the slot machine that I used to play. Boy, it was a hot one! I won $500.00. Unexpected luck indeed.

What Is Your Schedule This Weekend?

This is the question my honey asked me while we are having lunch today. I told him I will close the store tomorrow and Sunday. "So there is no chance for us to go somewhere tomorrow," he said. "What will I do on those days?", he asked.

Well, I told him that he can start working on his side project again. In fact, he already installed the program he needs for the job. I know what my honey wants to tell me. He wants us to travel to Oklahoma this weekend because we both know we miss going to the casino (chuckles). Maybe if I have two succeeding days off on a weekend this month, we will go to Oklahoma.

And Red Hot Ruby Shared Me Some Money

Having a vacation always feels good to me. Especially when you go to the destination where you will have lots of fun and enjoyment. This weekend my husband and I went to Oklahoma as a treat for getting the stuff done at the house and also as celebration for our wedding month-sary.
No other place we had in mind when we asked each other where to go. Choctaw Casino Resort. Choctaw Casino Resort is located in Durant, Oklahoma which is about four hours drive from West of Fort Worth. As what I learned, native American Indians started the casinos during the reservation period in Oklahoma. Right now the Choctaw casinos are presently owned and operated by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. (Shinade, it is nice to know you lived close by the casino. Maybe we can meet up there some time.)

We got an overnight room accommodation at the casino's hotel. We played the penny, quarter, and one dollar slot machines. I enjoyed playing the Football, Money Bags, and Red Hot Ruby machines because they were paying and gave me free spins. I got all excited whenever I hear the sound of winning machines because there are winners around. We did not do well but we just managed the cash we had throughout Saturday night.

The next day we went to the old casino building after we checked out. We played there for four hours. Whenever I feel the machine is not paying, I looked for another one. I had a thinking that the Red Hot Ruby one dollar machine will pay so I inserted in the machine the last $20.00 ticket I got. My husband was beside me when the machine gave me a free spin and hit the Cross Corners pattern on the screen. And Red Hot Ruby gave me some money of $340.39. Oh that was fun! It was like we played at the casino for free. I can still hear the machine's ringing in my ears. (You are right Mae.)

Have You Traveled to Oklahoma?

Oh yea! I am very excited now. After the busy weeks in October, we finally have everything at the house settled. We will hand-over the keys and give the important contact numbers to the renters this coming Saturday.

My husband and I talked about giving ourselves a treat…a relaxation somewhere romantic and fun. Actually he wants us to celebrate the accomplishment we had last month, the house being leased and the successful moving. Also, it is our seventh wedding month-sary and we want to celebrate it as usual. I was looking forward to the trip until my honey told me that he scheduled us to go to Oklahoma this weekend. I was so surprised.

Yahoo! But...oh no!

Yahoo, because it has been four months since the last time we were there and the place we are going to is loud and has much fun. Oh no, because we are going back to the casino. ^_^

How about you? Have you traveled to Oklahoma?
