Eureka! Our Trip to Mesquite

Ever since Father's Day we have had a weekend trip to Mesquite, Nevada (about 1.5 hours North of Vegas) planned with our friends the Neels for last weekend - the guys received a round of golf at Wolf Creek for their Father's Day present and then we definitely got spoiled with a free hotel room at the Eureka courtesy of Brent's dad, who is one of the top execs at the hotel.




The one catch was - outside of golf and gambling, what was there to do in Mesquite? We did some research and didn't find a lot (they referred us to trips to the Grand Canyon and Zions Park for family fun). I knew when my search for great restaurants turned up almost exclusively casino buffets, plus one restaurant that was given a 10 out of 10 for its American food, only to find out when we pulled up it was Mexican (Mia's in Mesquite - worst tortilla soup I have ever had), that we were in for some slim pickins'.

But we had fun at the hotel and swam a lot and I got to re-read Harry Potter for a few undisturbed hours. Our girls played really well together, and even after a long, hot day of golf this is what we lucky wives got to witness - I love guys who are willing to do the dirty work (literally - this photo was censored for poop). :)
