Blogg'n Laughlin
"And just like the prodigal son, I return.
Anyone stepping to me, you'll get burned"
Who the hell do these people think they are to make me work after I get back from my vacation. The nerve!
So Laughlin was Laughlin.
The Jeff and I headed out Thursday night and rolled in at about 2:30 am, then drank till 4 am.
Friday was a very typical "first day of family vacation," so yes, there was drama. See, in my family everyone is an expert on everything, naturally this pisses everyone off. The big thing that happened to me and The Jeff was a bit of a miscommunication. One which resulted in everyone else but me being lost for over an hour. So all the sunscreen I put on was sweated off as I sat there on the water in nearly 120 degree weather. Heat stroke does not the drinker make.
Saturday was a bit more calm, everyone kinda fell into a bit of a rhythm, we had our beach on the river with the majority of the gear, of course someone managed to forget the radio. Luckily everyone got to enjoy the sounds of everyone yelling at each other. (no, I didn't forget the radio!)
Sunday was a perfect day. There was no traffic on the water, and this meant no chop (that's wavy water, ya land lubber! arrrr...). I finally got to really get out there and ride (my sunburn from Friday finally wore off). That night The Jeff and I met two very cute (and naturally very engaged/married) women who taught us how to play craps.
This is kind of the inherent flaw in Laughlin is that there are no single women.
Yeah, this isn't an exaggeration, there are none, nada, ziltch. The reason for this is quite simple, women usually don't purchase water craft. (before you start hating me, hear me out.) See, spending heaps of cash on big flashy toys is a very male thing to do. Guys do this as a means of trade, you know "you ride my boat and I ride you..." So usually when you see women there they are either (a) with their husband, (b) with a boyfriend, or (c) were brought for the other single guys in the same group.
Luckily we found a pool table in one of the bars, so at least I was able to play with my balls for a while. hehehe
In summation,
There was drink'n
There was dance'n
There was Sea-doo'n
but there was no debauchery (this is where audience let's out a empathetic sigh)
And just check out the awesome pics from my trip! (all two of them!)
Is this the hottest club in Laughlin?
Nope, it's the world's crapiest elevator!. If you look at the guy's face under the ham steak you'll see terror, pure terror. That's because the elevator had just dropped three feet. Yeah, the Edgewater isn't the highest quality hotel in Laughlin (the hallways smelled like swamp ass)
Are these people completely drunk or out really really late at night?
Yes.
We decided to go out to dinner for my mom's B-day at 10:00pm... Yeah, we plan well.
(I have other pics on my water cam, but it still needs to be developed.)

Don't you hate being the picture taker? It always means that you never get pics of yourself.. lol
glad you had fun, sorry you couldn't have any.. um... extracurricular activities. ;)
By Robyn, at Thursday, August 24, 2006 4:50:00 AM
robyn- i completely agree on being photographer, esspecially in relationships. (i usually have no proof i'm withsomeone, just a collection of pic of just that person.)
i was kinda bummed about the extracurricular activities, but seeing as though it wasn't the first year like this i knew what to expect.

I love the product placement of the Pepsi can. How much did you get for the endorsement?
By Randi, at Thursday, August 24, 2006 8:52:00 AM
randi- i don't understand, just because Pepsi is drink of choice among the young hip crowd.
did you know it's the choice of the next generation?
aaaaaaaaah, pepsi

Yay, you're back! And this "vacation" was a chance for you to rev up for your extra-debaucherous-curricular activities over Labor Day weekend.
See, everything happens for a reason!

misti- awww, is it already time to feed you again?

Other than the lack of debauchery and the sun-stroke, it does sound like a good vacation.

Were you stuck to the ceiling when you took that elevator shot? I've met you... you're not that tall.
Welcome home babe.

WELCOME HOME....sorry to hear about the lack of single ladies for you to get into "trouble" with *hehehehe* glad to hear you got to drink...no not the Pepsi........and I am hoping that you had at least a little fun, playing with your balls ;P
By Anonymous, at Sunday, August 27, 2006 10:25:00 AM
hella- yeah, lack of trouble is always bad, but i figure it just means we'll have to make up for it later.
By exile, at Sunday, August 27, 2006 1:11:00 PM
