08.15.2014: Tucson Escape with the Girls (and Vince)

So tomorrow is Aleya's bridal shower down in Tucson at one of Jackie's friends houses.  The shower is at 8am, so we decided it would be fun to go down the night before and spend the night.  Christina, Karissa and I were all going together and Vince wanted to tag along as the driver ;)

We decided to spend the night at the casino down there (Casino Del Sol), since we figured it would give us good entertainment for the night.  The plan was to get down there early and go to dinner...however Christina missed 2 flights and was delayed!  Her plan was to fly to Tucson and we would pick her up there, but she ended up flying into Phoenix since it would get her in earlier, so we got her there, and headed down.  We stopped for dinner at a hole-in-the-wall place on our way to the casino...which wasn't too bad, but looked really shady...stop the music as we walk in kind of place!  Once we got to the casino & were valeting our car, someone pulled up behind us & started whistling.  Christina was like, oh NO!  But when we all turned around, it was Chris Hearn!!!  Charles' son Chris!  SOOOO crazy!!  And random!  He had no idea we would be there....and what are the chances that we would pull up at the exact same time!?  So funny!  He was there with his wife & sister-in-law just to hang out for the night.

 

So we went up and checked into our rooms, and told them we would meet them downstairs later.  We did a little pre-game while we were getting settled, then headed down to meet up with them.  We had a GREAT time hanging out and just catching up with Chris.  There were so many crazy things that happened that night though....  At one point I was in the bar, ordering another bottle of champagne....the bartender was going to another bar to find it and the guys next to me started up a conversation.  Christina came over and we were chatting with them while we were waiting (very much older thems!)  I guess one of their "girlfriends" saw the exchange, and didn't like it.  Once they left the bar, she went crazy on them.  Threw a drink, screaming & yelling. Security came and handled it...but it was pretty funny!!  So, after that, we decided it was probably time to call it a night...which meant to go find the lounge and have a drink there instead!  Haha!!  Such a fun, fun night!!  Once we got back to the room, we did some scotch tastings and Christina decided it was a good time to fit in some squats.  Yes, I said squats!!  So, 3am, and drinking scotch, we were doing squats.  (Update - I could not walk for a week!!)  Again, so fun....and random!!! 

 

All I knew at this point was that it was going to be a very early morning!!
