Moving On

After enjoying more SPAM than anyone could ever imagine and being surrounded by cave vaginas, we headed back to Wisconsin to continue the first day of Birthday Week.

Minnesota was absolutely breathtaking to look at. We ended up taking a state highway back to the interstate leading towards LaCrosse and the scenery was more than spectacular. Since April had never been to Minnesota and I had RARELY ever gotten to enjoy a rain-free birthday celebration, I was so pleased to be among such lovely scenery and atmosphere.

The drive was pleasant enough, but we ended up stopping a bit prematurely before hitting our final destination of the day. Where would we, the sorry and unpredictable travelers end up for an hour or so?

Ho-Chunk Casino, of course!

"Ho-Chunk". Am I talking about the cave vaginas again? No. Ho-Chunk is a fine bingo & casino resort near the Wisconsin Dells. We've been there before and we always have a good time there.

Neither April nor I are big gamblers. We love Las Vegas and we like a little silly wasting of paltry sums of money on games of chance. We had about another hour before hitting our location for the next day's bit of fun and Ho-Chunk seemed like a fine place to take a break.

I think I MAY have spent about $10.00 in total on a few slot machines. Of course I didn't lose a cent. Why? After almost losing the ten-spot I ended up getting myself back to being down five bucks, all on penny slots, which I played for almost the entire hour a little at a time. I was about to finish, comfortable with knowing I'd be down five whole dollars when an announcement came over the P.A.

"If your birthday is in the month of May, this is your LAST CHANCE to get a FREE five dollar birthday present from Ho-Chunk. Head to the customer service center to claim your cash now."

Naturally I went over there to get the details. Sure enough, all I had to do was sign up for their player's club card and they'd give me five bucks. No questions asked. No expectations I'd actually spend the money there. I claimed my fin and finished the day even at the casino.
