It was our very first anniversary, we went to Jackpot Nevada!
It's just a 4 hour drive from our condo in Boise to Jackpot. After our last minuet planning, Tony and I jumped in the car on July 5th 2004. When the temperature was110' that day,on that blazing hot highway our car's AC quit 2 hours in. So Tony was both sweaty and grumpy by the time we actually arrived in Jackpot. We instantly felt like we were the only people there under 60 years old. I had been laughing through out the day, from the AC not working, to a funky strange bug that came into our car window scaring Tony to death as he pulled over so I could catch it and remove it from our car. I hadn't really wanted to go to Jackpot in the first place...so everything that happened just had me laughing so much. "THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!" Tony said once we walked through the casino on that hot late afternoon. I reminded him that once we had lunch we would feel better, but when the iceberg lettuce salad was set down in front of us, Tony glared on while I burst out laughing all over again! Tony also hates those old fashion brown mugs, he said that they were a clear sign the restaurant was stuck in time. While we had a slice of pie and our coffee came out in those type of mugs I couldn't stop giggling. Poor Tony, this was the most unromantic anniversary ever!(I reminded him that it was also our first celebration, we were just learning) He was so frustrated until we played black jack at the empty tables. We won $20 and drove back home that same evening when it was a bit cooler outside for us in a car with no air conditioning. Tony kept apologizing for a crappy anniversary but I replied that I hadn't laugh so much in a long time! So really I LOVED it! Maybe it was going to be a good fun memory after all! Tony mumbled "I am such a loser husband." I hugged him still giggling, I had advised against going there but soon found myself amused by everything! I smiled brightly back at him saying "We have a life time of laughter ahead of us!" he rolled his eyes and smiled back while nodding he said "I am glad you find this all so funny." and I burst out laughing again!
