Memorable Vacations

Memorable vacations  weren't in my future
Elk season came around and guess where my husband spent vacation
My desire to acquire a vacation with him to a romantic paradise wasn’t meant to be
Over and over I would plead asking him, please
Ruining his was not permitted
Adding the expanse to his hunt and be with his friends was more important 
Because hunting season only came around once a year
Leaving him to his vacation, I began to take my own at the
Eagle Casino Indian Reservation

Valuing my time away from home
Accepting not having my husband around I started
Catching the first bus out of town with 
All my girlfriends that wanted to be
Thrilled to death, to dine on divine food and tear the house down with our laughter
Indian reservation here we go while our husbands are enjoying themselves
One Arm Bandit and Texas Hold'em we pray to hit the jackpot, then on to the
Nightlife and entertainment

Good for you Eve, don't blame you at all, we all need a vaction/change at times, though the circumstances are rather saddening. Cleverly done acrostic on this write. Good luck in the contest. Take care, Richard
