Valentine's Day

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday. We certainly did. Justin and I both ended up having long weekends over the Valentine's Day weekend, so we decided to get out of town for a few days. We didn't want to drive very far or spend too much money, so we settled on Wendover because neither of us had been there before. We left Friday morning, dropped the kiddo of at my mom's house, and then took the long, boring drive to Wendover, the town in the middle of nowhere. We stayed at the Best Western and seriously, everyone  there was so super nice! I would highly recommend it!

Friday night we were tired from the drive and the early morning so we ordered pizza and stayed in our room and watched movies. It wasn't the most exciting Valentine's Day but it was nice to just relax and be together and have some alone time. On Saturday we hit up the casino, I won $9.49 at the penny slots thank you very much! We grabbed some lunch and then went off-roading in the desert. It was fun. We discovered some pretty interesting things out there, and you wouldn't believe how many couches were out there! Wow. That night we went to Bimini Buffet in a casino, the food was okay but not good enough for the price, and after dinner we hit up the pool in the hotel. The management was nice and let us go in after hours if we promised to be quiet so we had the pool all to ourselves for a couple of hours.

Sunday morning we ate breakfast, packed up, and headed on our way. We ate dinner at my parent's house and got home Sunday night in time for Justin to grab a quick nap before he had to work that night. It was a fun little get away even though Wendover is kind of a pathetic town if you are not big gamblers. But hey, it was an adventure and now next time we'll know.

Here are a few of the pictures that I did take...
