Time to Contribute to the Casino

Well it was off to the Foxwoods Casino today. Yes we felt we would help them out and contribute our hard earned dollars to their cause. And we did! Foxwoods is pretty impressive for an establishment in the middle of nowhere. It looked kind of like a glass palace. There were actually three casinos housed in the same facility. They also have a theater, entertainment in the Atrium and many, many, MANY slot machines! We arrived at 12 noon and left about 9pm! No, we did not gamble all that time. We called Peg's cousins and were hanging out waiting for them to arrive and meet us for dinner.

Of course we had to kill some time by feeding the one arm bandits. Actually, most of the slot machines do not have "arms" anymore. I hate to say it but it took us a while to figure out how to play the slot machines. They were more complicated than I remember. You can not use single quarters, nickels, dimes anymore. You have to put in a $5 bill (minimum) to play. Interesting!

Peg's cousins, Marty and Linda arrived about dinner time and we all had dinner together at the Hard Rock Café, also housed in the Foxwoods building. This is quite a complex! Linda, thank you for the picture of our dinner with you and cousin Marty at the Hard Rock!

Tomorrow, we visit my Auntie Marie and all her children (my cousins), in Shelton, Ct.
