old folks gambling home
from my mom last night:
We went on "the largest gambling ship in the world" today. It is BIG. Caught the bus about 9:15 this morning and went to Port Canaveral where we boarded. The boat returned to PC about 4:15 and the bus returned us to Port Orange (5-6 miles south of us) shortly after 6:00. Not too many blackjack tables and the $5 ones were full, so dad didn't play. Said he was content to watch this time. There were nickel, quarter, dollar, and $5 slots. I didn't play, but did watch. It was a little cool for sitting outside. We may go again when the temps are warmer and hopefully the seas aren't quite so rough.
Now, please note, my mom is a nickel slots player. Once in a while, she'll get adventurous and play the quarter slots. This is the first I've heard of my dad playing the $5 blackjack, too. Squandering my inheritance. I wonder how much it cost to ride this big gambling boat. I know seniors ride free on Wednesdays on the one my dad usually goes to.
At least they're having fun!
