April 5, 2012
This is the day! This was planned to be a very short vacation of sorts. Just drop by Atlantic City yesterday ( Which we did that is why we are here), go around the city, pools for the kids, casino for the adults. Tomorrow, April 5, we would make the short trip back home and hopefully have experiences worth remembering.
We started the day with an early stroll on the boardwalk, mainly to get the blood warmed up and ready for the days challenges. When I mean we, it was me and kids . 6 a.m. is much too early for everybody else. When we got back to the”Taj” and everybody had finally gotten out of their and ready, it was already close to noon. To late for breakfast but good enough for Brunch. (a tip for some penny pinching money savers). We decided that the in-house restaurants are much too expensive so we would check the boardwalk for a place.
After brunch we continued to explore the boardwalk. We expected to get through this pretty quickly, I mean, how long can this place be? ( You can tell we have never really tried walking on one end-to-end). Between the window shopping, actual shopping for hoodies (A daughters obsession), Lacrosse practice catch and throw, we finally made it to Ceasar’s Palace. I have no idea if this is even halfway across or not but we were tired, it was close to 2pm and the kids had to be at the pool by 4pm. So after resting for a few minutes we split the group into two. Those who wanted to continue to the Outlet mall, and those who were in favor of going back. I went with those going back.
Apparently all of us, kids included, needed more exercise. Back at the Hotel we just had to lie in bed for a good 1 hour before anybody had the strength to do anything else. The kids headed for the pool, adults to the casino. Kids left the pool early , adults lost their money earlier. I guess it is time for bed.
