Our second day condisted of endless airport runs. We woke up around 1030 and got ready for breakfast. We had brunch at this restaurant called Dooky Chase, which is owned and run by a 90 year woman who, according to the travel channel, was the inspiration for the main character in The Princess and the Frog. The restaurant looked a little run down from the outside, but was absolutely adorable from the inside. We got the buffet style lunch, which was good. Had the most flavorful white bean soup, some great fried chicken and amazing meatballs. It was an all around good meal.we were happy and it was a good break before a day of shuttling.
We dropped James and Mia off at the hotel, checked into grandma and grandpas hotel, and drove over to the airport. We took Grandma, Grandpa, and Halmony in the first shift. We took them to Harrahs and rounded back to the airport to get Chris, Gianni and Uncle Brian. We dropped them off, got James and mia and then took a short break at Harrahs. It was short, but not short enough for me to avoid losing money on a dumb LOTR slot machine.
On trip 3, we got Oppa, Nonny, and Nonno. It took us a while because Umma couldn't find the car. I had walked that trio, so I had no idea where it was either. We were going to have dinner with them, but they were tired so we ended up at this Mexican restaurant that was surprisingly good to my California taste buds. We, of course, followed this up with beignets, where James tried to steal Uncle Brian's.
Andrew was trip four, but his flight was delayed until 140 am, so we had time to kill. harrahs does this thing where you can get free parking if you gamble for 30 minutes, so we did some gambling to get our free parking. Apparently, you need 30 qualifying minutes, so Mia Umma and I had to slave away at slots for almost two hours. At least we used up time.
By the time we picked up Andrew, we were deliriously tired. Between getting to the airport and walking to Holiday Inn from Harrahs, it was almost three when we got back and went to sleep. At least we got most of our airport runs done.
