Life is too short to eat bad buffet.

So we made it to Las Vegas yesterday afternoon – took us about 11 hours.
Just a few of things….
….since when did McDonald’s start putting salt and pepper on their burgers? I worked at McDonald’s back in the day and there was no fancy seasoning there except for the special sauce. Now they put pepper and salt on their burger patties and not that it’s not good, well, it’s not, but it’s not the classic McDonald’s anymore. Come on, 400 thousand billion sold – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
….how does a BOY get his underwear in the toilet? We’re taking naps before heading down to dinner and my son (6-years old) comes out of the bathroom and whispers loudly to his dad “dad, just so you know, my underwear fell in the toilet….” How’d they get off his feet? Do I really want to know….?
….spend the money and go to the MGM. We’re staying at Circus Circus – they are very kid-friendly, you know. So we decided to do their buffet for dinner – all Vegas buffets are the same, right? WRONG. It’s so hard to binge on bad food – and there’s nothin’ worse than being stuffed from food you weren’t pleased with. I couldn’t even find a decent dessert – the best dessert they had was nothing more than Little Debbie Swiss Rolls sliced into bite-size pieces. The roast beef was dry. They had strawberry chicken though (Chinese). This could have been good – had it not been dry and old looking.
This morning we’re making the 8-hour drive from Vegas to Santa Fe, New Mexico. We’re going to see my cousin Loretta and her family. Not sure how that works, but my mother and her father are cousins, so does that make her my 2nd or 3rd cousin….or something once removed? I don’t know…we just call each other “prima” – cousin in Spanish 😉 We met via e-mail about 11 years ago, and then met in person a year later, so it’s been 10 years since I’ve seen her. It’ll be nice to see her again – she’s a really sweet, down-to-earth kinda girl.
Talk at you tomorrow, Girls!

Oh how fun!! Enjoy your stay. I won $17 at the casino I went to last week–I’m sending my luck toward you (hopefully more that $17)! I only spend $2, though!! 🙂

OOH, you make me miss Vegas. My hubby and I used to go there all the time when we lived in Grand Junction, Colorado. We even got married at the Bellagio : ) Have a safe drive down to NM!

I could’ve told you about the Circus Circus buffet. My friend worked there in h.s., and I used to hang there, but quickly learned it wasn’t worth a five finger discount.
Good luck w/the undies and the rest of the drive.
