Countdown to Deployment: Date Night #3

We landed ourselves an overnight date, y'all. A very close friend offered to take Jackson for an entire evening, and because our little dude sleeps all night, we didn't feel terrible about taking them up on their super-kind offer.

We decided to take full advantage of our situation, and booked a night at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino. Stepping inside feels like falling into a little piece of Vegas, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner at a Thai restaurant, some drinks and entertainment at a bar featuring dueling pianos (so fun!), and wandering the casino floors and some people-watching at hours we haven't seen in years. And THEN... we slept in, and indulged in a mid-morning brunch buffet. It was glorious, a one-day vacation we desperately needed before tackling the challenges associated with living apart.

Here are a few snapshots.
