Vacation

We tackled a FABULOUS weekend!! We traveled 4 hours north with a couple of friends to Harris, MI to stay at The Island Resort and Casino. It was AWESOME! The drive didn't seem like 4 hours because the company was so comfortable. The rooms were clean, the tables were entertaining and the slots were fun. We gambled to our hearts content, relaxed in the pool and tried new things. It was an all around great time:-)

It was an really good deal. We paid $65 on Thursday and $85 on Friday. For that price, we had a really comfortable and tidy room. We also got 2 free drinks, 2 $5.oo coupons for meals and $10 in cash to gamble with. We used every one of them!! We also took advantage of their player's card that offered discounts and points towards stuff in the gift shop. Check out this little number that I picked up with my points:

Isn't this cute? It is a beautiful bag made of recycled ties, belts, belt buckles and jewelry....a one-of-a-kind:-) I love that it is so bohemian and green:-) The trip was worth it just for this purse alone:-)

    How fun! The next time I'm out your way, I think I'll take the girls "Up Nort" to one of those casinos that they have in WI. I'm feeling lucky!
