Third Anniversary

Michael and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary tonight (two days late!).  Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch AJ while we went out for a nice dinner at Sol Toro at Mohegan Sun.  Unfortunately because I'm a space cadet lately, I completely spaced on getting a Cake Lady cake for our anniversary! FAIL!!  So instead we decided to be a little indulgent and get a mini-Vermonster from Ben and Jerry's for dessert!  [For those of you who don't know what a Vermonster is - look it up!]  Our mini-Vermonster had six scoops of ice cream (all different flavors!), a banana, and all the toppings you could imagine (fudge, caramel, whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, reese's pieces, etc.)!  We went and sat down on one of the granite/marble benches in the middle of the Casino of the Sky and as we are eating our ice cream, all of a sudden it started 'raining' on us.  It wasn't your typical rain - no, it was like glass bead rain.  Or shards of glass rain. AWESOME.  It was in our hair, on our clothes, in the ice cream...it was everywhere.  So Michael went and found security while I stayed at the scene of the crime.  Two security guys came over and took our information, took some pictures of the shards of glass and then scraped them up and put them into an evidence bag.  They then called over a host who would try to compensate us for our misfortune.  After talking to her manager and looking up our player's club card activity (basically non-existent since we don't gamble much), we were given a $25 credit towards a retail or food purchase.  That was enough to cover the cost of the mini-Vermonster and then gave us $12 spending money.  How gracious of them!  We were too tired and frustrated to fight with the host to try and get us additional compensation so after this whole thing happened, we ended up leaving the casino and heading home.


UPDATE:  After thinking about the whole situation and how the $25 credit was prefaced with 'well, it doesn't look like you guys come here much,' Michael and I were downright ticked off.  Just because we don't necessarily go there that often, a PIECE OF YOUR CEILING FELL on us.  And it was shards of glass nonetheless.  So Michael ended up calling guest relations about a week later and we were given another $100 credit towards any retail or food purchase with no questions asked.  We have yet to use it, but we're both excited for another night out.  One hopefully without glass rain falling on us.

Three years of wedded bliss!

Yummy!
