Day 1 of our week of travels and entertainment

So today was our first day of sight seeing and activities while my g-ma and mom are here in town. Here is the rundown of what happened:

1. We went to the Bentonville Library to research some genealogy information for my mom. We spent about 2 hours there seeking out ancestry stuff for my mom's side of the family.

2. We had lunch at La Huerta and had lots of great Mexican food.

3. After lunch we made the trip over to West Siloam Springs to Cherokee Casino.

My g-ma and I had never been to a casino and never played any slots, so we wanted to try it...
While we were there my mother and I played several $.05 and $.01 machines on our first $5. That money was quickly lost by both of us. Then we found the $.25 poker slots and that lasted both of us at least 35 minutes each. My g-ma did play a $.01 slot with $1. She did well at first winning $.55 and cashing out. Then she went back and lost all of that. So, all in all we lost only $21 between all three of us and spent about an hour and a half there.

4. We had dinner at Dairy Queen. There's nothing like ice cream for dinner. None of us were hungry but wanted something sweet to eat.

Tomorrow will be a busy day too. We are leaving early in the morning to go to Eureka Springs to wander around and then on to Branson. We are going to catch a show tomorrow evening, spend the night then wander Branson on Wednesday.

I will post more about that once we return.
