Trip to Laughlin Nevada

February 15,2010-February 18,2010..

I drove down to Lauglin,Nevada to see my Great Aunt Etta and my Grandma Betty. They were staying at the Tropicana Hotel as my Aunt lives in AZ,and my Grandma lives in IL she was visiting why the nasty IL weather disappeared.And of course I live in Nevada..

I'm very close with my family Especially Grandma Betty,and I'm close as well with my Great Aunt Etta.






I love them both very much and so glad that I have them in my life.



As I drove down there alone afraid of driving through the Mountains and afraid of the twist and turns the roads took or that I would get Lost..But I made it safe and sound.
It was beautiful the weather was great and getting to see my grams and her sister was alot of fun.Of course we gambled and well I'm not a fan of it so I like most times I have to play and so I lose my money..That I'm so NOT a fan of...lol

But I got to spend some much needed one on one with my grandma,after her sister my aunt Etta left the next day,Grams and I slept in and then we walked to the mall that was only next store to our hotel. we now have a yearly tradition,we go to the mall and go inside the photo shoot box and take 4 pictures of us together,one normal and the rest hilarious pictures they sure do make us laugh!

last year when grams and I went to Laughlin Nevada it felt like we had went there to hide away from all the pain we were going through at least that's what it felt like me..But this year was different we were just down there to enjoy that we got Free Rooms and got to spend the much needed and well spent quality time together..

The next day would be different we would sleep in and gamble and then go sit down in the hot tub,,I was ready to go all day but My grandma's Neighbor was there,lets not begin with this story! LOL






But as the day went on I didn't share her much,and as you can probably tell I'm not a fan of sharing my Grandma..Don't know if that's her fault from me being the spoiled kid that she took care of while my parents worked or because I am the oldest grand kid.. either way I blame her and my Papa John !
;)
Once upon a time she and grandpa got me this sweatshirt that said Spoiled brat,and I never agreed,but somewhere in the back of my heart I know I am and hey its my right I was first born and first granddaughter,maybe its hard for me to share the people close to me but I know how to share clothes or food or friends..I just don't like sharing my Grams :) but I know I have too sometimes lol!
especially if its with Aunt Etta I can do that :)


All in all the trip was defiantly not long enough,but it was tons of fun I love my family and I thank god everyday I got them in my life..
I cant wait tell we do it again soon!
As we left that day,I didnt want to return to normal I wanted to stay on my Mini vacation for a bit longer but getting to spend the time with my family was what I really needed!
