A treat from the hubby

After coming home Thursday evening from the play my husband had a wonderful surprise for me. It seems that I was going to be going on an out of town get-a-way for the weekend with my hubby for Easter Weekend.

Thanks to Ron for wathcing our baby while we were gone made it possible, However, the baby wasn't all to happy about us leaving. He can always tell what is coming when he see the suitcases. Ron said that while we were gone that Roki seemed to be sad and not himself. When we came home Sunday it was obvious that he was punishing us for leaving him for the weekend.

Once again as I am typing this blog my pictures are still be published to my Picture Gallery. The folder you want to for our weekend away is called "Wheeling Downs".

We went to Wheeling Island. The last time Robert and I tried to stay there we were evacuated because of a hurricane that came up and closed the casino the only time in the Casio's history.

We had reservation for the Terrace Room and had and awesome dinner. Robert had a New York Strip and I had a slab of baby back ribs. You can see from the pictures that my ribs was way more than one person could eat and I ended up bringing most of the slab home.

As far as our betting we ended up $50 in the red after seventeen races. Typically, I do better than what I did. I was selecting my dogs for a "muddy" track ...and when we got to the race it the track was classified as a "fast track". I won the most races ...but Robert earned more of his money back than I did.

We had an awesome time ..and think we are going to make this an Easter weekend tradition for years to come.
