Ngoai came by the house to pick me up and get some Andrew time in and then we headed off to pick up Aunt Monica at her house. We didn't have any problems on the drive in and arrived at L'auberge a little over two hours later. Mary-ann and her friends were driving separately and going to meet us there.
We checked into our rooms and headed downstairs. Ngoai and Monica played some blackjack while we waited for the guest of honor to arrive. I left the two ladies gambling downstairs while I met Mary-Ann upstairs in her room. We hung out for a while while the girls (Mary-Ann, and her friend Hayden, and one of Scott's nieces Allison) got ready for the night.
Then, we had dinner at Asia where we were joined by two more of Mary-Ann's friends, Taylor and Edy. After dinner, we headed to casino area for some gaming. Mary-Ann wanted to play craps first so I watched her play some of that, but there wasn't much luck to be had there. Next, we went to play Pai Gow and we did okay, but weren't winning much there.
Later, Mary-Ann joined the girls who were playing slots and I found Monica and Ngoai who were at the blackjack tables. The girls ended up going to Jack's After Dark for some drinking and dancing and Monica and I joined them later. After it closed, we back into the casino and played some more craps and blackjack. Sadly, most of the group lost that night, but Ngoai was lucky that night and won, so that was good.
This morning, we got ready and packed up. After checking out, we ate some breakfast at The Cafe. After, we did some more gambling and left Lake Charles around 2pm.
It was a fun getaway. I missed being away from James and Andrew who had a great time in Austin. I was sad more of us didn't have better luck at the tables, but oh well. It was mostly just nice to get to celebrate with Mary-Ann.
