Our summer on the road

Gina and I drove up to Oklahoma yesterday to play a bit at one of the casinos that's just across the border. We're hitting the other one today. She's a teacher and this is the last weekend of her summer break. We are trying to make the best of it but also stay at home since we don't want to have to find a place to stash our dog for the second weekend in a row. What? I haven't mentioned a dog? Or that we went out of town last weekend? Well we do have a dog and we did go out of town. I'll have to tell you about those things later.

Anyway, we were talking about our summer travels on the way to Oklahoma yesterday. Here is the list we put together. Pretty impressive, I think.
