We spent a weekend in Reno with Chelsea's side of the family. Cody, Chelsea, Wayne and Brooke hit the road at 5am on Friday morning and headed straight to Reno. We made it there just in time to check into the hotel and hit the $1 margaritas happy hour special. The boys did some gambling...Cody lost his gambling budget within the first two hours. When Chelsea refused to increase his budget, he had to live vicariously through Wayne(who was making money!) for the evening.
The next day we did a little bit of shopping, then met up with Chelsea's parents,Grandma Gloria and Ed. Then headed to the casino to meet up with everyone who had just flown in from Canada. A new day meant a new budget for Cody. His goal this time was to win back the money he lost. So, he sat at the blackjack table (him game of choice) for quite a few hours...but he did it!! He made back what he lost the night before and even walked away a little ahead. After dinner and gambling, we decided to call in an evening and head back to the time share to meet up with Aunt Wendy and the gang. Before we walked back, Cody had to use the restroom. Chelsea was waiting outside the bathroom for him when a man walked up to her and asked her if she had any luck this evening. Chelsea kinda shrugged her shoulders and said "oh just a little." The man unzipped his fanny pack, pulled out a $20 bill and said "Here, take this...it's good luck. Take it and double it!". When Cody walked out of the bathroom, Chelsea showed him the $20 and told him the story. After Cody fist questioned Chelsea about this random guy, he finally said "Well you heard the man, lets go double it!!" Cody lead Chelsea to a blackjack table and told her to put it all down on one hand...so she did. Once the cards were dealt, Chelsea noticed the dealers top card was an ace...yikes. The dealer scanned the corner of her hand and to Chelsea's relief it wasn't a blackjack! So, Chelsea looked at her hand and realized she had a BLACKJACK!!! Since blackjack pays out x1.5, Chelsea walked aways with 50 bucks!! What a great way to end the night.
The following morning, we got up, said our good-byes and headed back to Oregon. It was a short trip but we enjoyed the time we had to spend with the family.
