20051223 - Border Crossing and Gambling

So we ate our free breakfast buffet that came with the package, and it was amazing too, Canadians really do know how to make amazingly good food. Then we packed up the car, and then went on a walk along the beach. We met a nice little lone bird who was having a blast swimming around and stuff, it was cool. Then we got into the car and started the 8 hour trip home. At the border crossing above Oroville we were searched and they ransacked the car for like 40 minutes as we sat in the holding area bored out of our minds watching an ant on the floor, getting lost in the continuous tile work.

Then we stopped in Republic for a bathroom break, and I got a german sausage and two glass holiday bottles of coke, and Christelle, who had been driving since the border, got a eggnog double latte, and we felt much more refreshed. Then we went to the Chewelah casino for a little gambling. I had 9 quarters and a lot of 1’s that was going to spend, but on my 7th quarter in the Double Jackpot Black and White, I got a black 7, double jackpot, black 7, which is worth 200 credits, and it had been a quarter machine so I won 50 bucks. So I put 5 on a hand of blackjack, dealer had 19 so I lost, and then we left. It was great.

Then we headed on home where we returned the car and then I ordered Pizza Pipeline with the winnings I had. We got a medium white garlic sauce with mushrooms and artichokes, and a medium pesto with olives and Canadian bacon, it was so delicious and we had traveled for so long that we at it all but 2 pieces. Total driving miles from Tuesday morning to Friday night was 931.6 miles. We were exhausted and fell asleep at 11:30 pm. I had to work at 3:45 am the next day :-( Posted by Picasa
