Ching! Ching!
It seems like if there is almost one thing I can count on when spending time with my Grams (besides fresh tortillas) is that, if given the chance, we will be heading to the nearest ching! ching! This trip was, of course, no exception to that rule! After a long day at the ball field, we were planning an early morning wake up call to head to Louisiana bright and early the next day. The time change was killing me but hey, I could sleep anytime so why waste vacation time, right?
Two cars geared up Monday morning to go to L'Auberge de Luc in Lake Charles. I must admit that after living near Vegas for 4 years I'm not all the keen on these places but this one was actually quite pleasant. And when Grams sets you up with gambling cash, it's a lot of fun! My favorite slot machine of the day was this one:

I'm a sucker for any and all things hound related but this one was too perfect! Everytime I would spin the reels I would shout "Go Chabbies!" which of course was in reference to my beloved (and newly deceased *sniff sniff*) hound dog, Charlotte.
But serioulsy, doesn't this:
Have an uncanny resemblance to this:



You see it now, don't you?
Papo and Potsy were the big winners of the day and Grams was happy with her slot side Amaretto Sours. As for Aunt Dee, Diane, Dave, Maria and I, well, lucky we still have day jobs!
Stay tuned for more. Next stop, Pecan Country.
