A Weekend Get Away!

Every once and a while one needs to just get away...whether it be for a long or short amount of time. Brent and I ventured up to the Quad Cities for the weekend just to simply get away. It was wonderful! We gambled on the river boats, shopped in the malls, saw Ron Feingold do stand up comedy, and just simply enjoyed being away from all the Hubb-Bubb of our normal lives and the phone ringing.

Brent and I gambled on both river boat, but we have to say that we like the Isle of Capri better than Rhythm City. I had never gambled before so this was a new experience for me. Yes, I said I had never gambled before in all of my 23 1/2 years of life. I just simply could not see throwing away my money down the toilet to come out broke. However, I won on the boat. Not much but enough for me. We ended up coming up down $.5o for the gambling on the trip.

The picture above is kind of blurry, but it is a picture from our hotel, Radisson, on Saturday night. The hotel overlooked the Mississippi River and was wonderful!
