New City?

Yesterday the big excursion happened! We finally headed to the Cities for a few days to visit where we are going to be living and see some friends. We were supposed to leave around midnight, but to our surprise we both got cut from work early and were able to leave around 8:30PM. We started out and followed MapQuests directions and found that they somehow got us here about 30 minutes shorter than the road we knew. It was a nice drive and we arrived here about midnight. Once here, we unloaded some stuff from the car and decided to go out and see what the night would bring.

We found ourselves headed to the Casino!! It was my first experience at a Casino and it was amazing!! We played at Mystic Lake. Apparently it's very popular!! Kyle - Charles friends that we came to visit - wanted to play Black Jack so we headed over to the tables. Charles and Kyle played for a while before I decided to sit down! We played $5 minimum. I put $15 down to begin and next thing I knew I was up $75. At that point I called it quits and cashed it. We walked around a bit and played 2 cent slots! No one won anything on the slots, but we decided to sit back down at the Black Jack table. We both put in $20 and ended up only winning $32.50, but we didn't lose much! It was a great time and we all came out ahead!! It was a lot of fun!!

Hope tomorrow is as much fun!! Will write more later!! Mall of America tomorrow!!! :) Can't wait!!

Enjoy!!
