Bat Country and Turning Stone Casino Verona NY

Our Trip started out the day before when we realized we should do something...first we thought about going to nyc, then to boston, but in the end we decided on turning stone casino...so we headed out the next morning at 9am.









We got a little bit lost...on the way.....um...actually we went out of the way 200miles...but we got a scenic view of Lake George/Champlain/Long Pond/ signs for montreal.



After completely going around Adirondac National Forest twice we took a random route through the mountains and eventually after 3 hours reached our destination, verona new york.



We were all mad tired and ready to gamble, but we couldnt get into our room because the door ran out of batteries after we left our stuff and money inside...so we waited to get someone to fix it..and eventually hotel staff moved us into a new room and we got a 25 dollar breakfast coupon.



To Gamble properly you have to look sketchy, i have this down to an art.



A 20 dollar buffet may seem expensive, but not if you get the best F*#%#* food ever.



I ended the night being 300 up and very happy...but tommorow i was not prepared for how much I was going to loose..damn black jack.

NewPort Rhode Island

We finally arrived in New Port around mid day with only a series of bridges ahead.



The tempature was a humid 85 degrees, and we were about to find out if we could survive downtown.





We walked around a little lost, its rather difficult to navigate this place without a map. The streets are very clean however...unlike hartford. (below)



The first stop was visiting the tennis hall of fame which was worth the small fee. I didn't know a lot of history about tennis or its players so it was cool to see some of the old uniforms and racquets.





We ate at the red parrot which had great sea-food but it was rather pricey. Its a good stop if your 21+ because it has a bar on each of its 3 floors.



We drove by to visit the mansions but passed the winding trail which wraps around the cost, it was hard to get a picture without getting out of the car but here is a road shot:



We also passed by the breakers:



Overall it was a good day trip.
