Our 1st day off. I made a Wal-mart run to pickup an air mattress, because I couldn’t get any good rest on the pad I had; I will mail it home when I have a chance. Can’t wait to sleep!
Lunch was at the Golden Nugget Casino in Carson City and it was nas-tay! There was nothing on the buffet that I wanted to eat, and I usually eat anything. It was my first time in a casino and my experience was surreal. They people inside looked tired and old, sad and empty. It was dark, save for the mazes of neon and silver from the game machines. Afterwards, we went to the Children's Museum which was pretty neat. A sound machine, moving rock climbing wall, mirror illusions, and giant walk-on keyboard were all present for us to play with. There was also a large, floor-video-pressure sensitive version of that tilting silver ball maze game. It’s a great place for kids but us 20-something year olds definitely enjoyed ourselves. We put on a KOB for a few kids that were there.
There was one kid that you should Google when you have spare time because he is on there. His name is Jonah and he is a double amputee. What he does is give motivational speeches to war veterans with disabilities and skis with them and such. A really special guy.
