A Trip for Winning and Friends

Friday, September 21, 2018

Well, I am waaaaayyy behind on the blog. I will try to catch up, since it's now mid-January 2019!

In September, Tony had a "bye-week" with no football game, so we planned a trip to Fun Town RV Park at Winstar,  which is located next to the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, OK.

The trip was going to be a rainy one, but we really wanted to get away! Also, our good Heartland friends, Jay and Stella, were making their way across the country to head to the Oklahoma Rally in the next week or so, so we coordinated to meet up with them, as well.

We left on Friday after school was out, and headed out. It rained some along the way, but not too badly. We arrived at the RV park about 7PM, and Jay & Stella were already there. The rain was starting to pick up, so we agreed to just meet up in the morning, so we could get set up and eat something quickly.

In the middle of the night, I noticed the bed was slightly wet when I returned from going to the restroom. I was worried the cat had left us a present, but it was only water. We discovered the water was dripping from the TV antenna controller, which was directly over my side of the bed. Apparently, we have a leak!

We woke up and get dressed, then proceeded to meet up with Jay and Stella to head over to the Casino for breakfast. They had a good choice of food for "brunch" and we had a good visit. After that, we all went our own ways to gamble and such for a while, and agreed to meet up again later.

I won a little money playing the slots pretty quickly, so I became pretty conservative after that. We had a good time just seeing what was what around this huge casino. You can walk for miles and see lots of different things. After a while, we headed back to the RV and relaxed a while. The rain continued, so we stayed inside.

In the evening, we met up again with Jay and Stella, and drove in the rain, to go eat in Gainesville at the Rib Crib. We had a good meal, and visited a lot about various topics. After dinner we headed over to Wal Mart for a few things, then back to the RV park, where we said our good byes.

Today, we were slow to get up and get going, but we headed out just prior to lunch. We stopped at Bucees in Ft Worth, and had a quick lunch, then continued our way home with no issues. The rain had finally let up so that was good.

When we got back to our home park, our Progressive EMS would not allow power through, so we investigated further and found water had leaked into it, ruining it. Luckily, it is covered under a lifetime warranty, so I contacted Progressive on Monday, and a new one was shipped right away. We used our "backup" EMS from SurgeGuard (which doesn't have all the same features, but does protect against surges and reverse polarity) in the meantime. This has come in handy twice now.

Overall, a quick trip, but we had a good time seeing our Heartland friends and coming home with a little more in our pocket than what we started with!
