A PRETTY GOOD WEEKEND I won a free night stay at the Isle Capri Hotel & Casino in the Quad Cities from work, so this Saturday morning we packed things up and braved the cold to head to southern IA. Included in the package was an $80 food voucher for a really nice restaurant located in the hotel, so we ordered $35 steaks and salmon...it was goooood. For the most part we hung out at the hotel, went swimming, and I even won $20 playing blackjack. We also won tickets to the Putnam Museum where they had a really cool exhibit on Da Vinci. Here is what Evan thought of it though:

When we got back into town Sunday afternoon, we went straight to my parent's house for a mammoth Packer party. Only green and yellow foods were allowed. After such an exhausting weekend, none of us were looking forward to going back to work.

You don't seem to have pictures of the end of the game posted on here? I wonder why that is.

Wow, a whole $20? You must be livin' large. Just kidding, I know how nerve-wracking that must have been for you Beth!
