And We Were Off to the Races!

Last night Toast, St. and I went for sushi to celebrate Toast’s birthday. OMG… I love sushi at Jun’s in Prairie Village. Even if we had the world’s worst server… I mean THE worst… ever. It was laughable. Needless to say, I had a great time hanging with the girls. I think we need to have another wine on the front porch evening soon. Those are evil! But in a good way.

I was talking about our trip to Vegas with the girls last night and told them all about the ESPN Zone experience. I think the intention was just to go upstairs to take a look around… little did we know we were going to be there for the next few hours. We had a great time! First we played a mini version of bowling. The bowling ball was small, about the size of a softball but solid and without finger holes. The pins at the end of the lane (probably 30 feet long) were arranged by strings attached to the top. It was really fun. I kicked everyone’s ass by like 20 points! I think my final score was 104 (SHD, the fantastic bowler, only got like 62! haha). Yeah, I rubbed it in.

We continued to play different machines... K and I didn’t realize that S bought like 300 points to play with. Each game was around 6 points per person which meant we had to play like 12 games… each. K and I played air hockey and this little vintage like ice hockey/foos ball-like game… she totally kicked my ass on both (as I hang my head in shame). We raced wave runners, cars, a demolition track race, motorcycles and these race horses. The race horse thing was totally strange. The horses had heads that moved and foot pegs. The object of the race was to bob up and down on the horse while pulling his head back… not to be confused with “being on top” as St. put it last night… but it was really hard work! Right after a big meal… I thought I was going to barf. After that, K and I waited for the guys to finish playing and we headed out for what was to be the longest walk I’ve ever been on. It may not sound like a grueling task to walk 5 miles… but for anyone who’s been to Las Vegas, walking the ENTIRE strip in one evening, is no small task. I’m glad to say we did it; I never plan on doing it again.

We made it back to the hotel casino around 3am. I went straight to bed… I believe SHD went back downstairs and played Pai Gow until the sun came up. We had an amazing night… we had SO much fun.
