I woke up about 6am so that I could get myself ready to hop on the Cape May/Lewes Ferry at it’s 9am departure towards Cape May. After that I’ll be spending about an hour in the car and stopping at the beautiful Harrah’s Hotel & Casino. Baby and I are both excited because this is one of our first real vacations together. I set myself up in the Bayview tower, which is the new one that they were building the last time I went to A.C., I hear it’s actually pretty gorgeous inside so I’m anticipating it. It’ll be nice to sleep in a bed that doesn’t kill my back, I’ll tell you now that even if I don’t win any substantial amount of money as I did last time, just sleeping on a good mattress for a few nights will be completely worth it.
Dad will make his appearence around 3pm. I have to make it a point to be by the doors around that time so hopefully I’ll be able to find my watch, I’ve been searching for it all morning (Update: Found it, w00t!).
I still have a few things to do around the house, there’s about an hour left before we leave and I need to get the bedroom in order for Bella because she’ll be locked in there until tomorrow evening. Baby’s mom is going to make it a point to let her out for us on Sunday so that she isn’t cooped up in the room the whole weekend. I just need to throw some extra food and water down and then I’m sure she’ll be fine.
It’s going to be a litte bit difficult to stick to diets this weekend but I also know that each floor in Bayview towers is about 1/4 mile, so I may wind up walking the halls for a little while to get in my solid 4 miles a day. I know I’ll be doing a lot of walking around the casino but that’s mainly stop and go kind of walking, nothing consecutive.
Once my father meets up with us we’re probably going to head to Showboat and Caesar’s, I have quite a few comps to cash in on. I’m actually going to have to travel around for all three days based on all of the comps I have. There’s 3 to be done today, a few for Sunday and then probably 4 or 5 to be played on Monday before we start the long drive back home. I would have liked to take the ferry home, especially considering the moon rise, but then we’d have to leave around 5PM and if anyone has been on the Garden State Parkway at rush hour then you can understand my wanting to wait. We’ll just have to do our 2 hours in the car down the Jersey Turnpike – that should be HEAPS of fun…I swear.
In any event, I should get my butt in gear. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. It’s supposed to be some gorgeous weather for the next few days so hopefully you can all get out in the sun and soak up some vitamin D!
I’m extremely excited, I really hope that I have good news to come home and share.
Have fun on vacation with your love and keep up the willpower so that you can stay on your diet as you have planned. I’m going to try to enjoy the warm weather myself in the midst of some much needed packing that my husband & I are attempting to do. Win you some money so that you can throw out your old mattress for a more comfy one, too =)
I have never been to atlantic city. I am interested to go out there with some friends. What would you suggest to do there and where to go?
Oooh Atlantic City! I’ve never been but I’ve heard that it’s alot of fun… I hope you had/have a great weekend!
I know what you mean about a good mattress; the apartment I’m in right now came furnished and I haven’t been sleeping well since I got here. But the good news is that we’re finally buying a really nice bed for our new place – when I tried it out in the store I damn near cried haha.
Oh! Sounds like fun!
It’s been years since I last had a vacation 🙁
My family’s been planning a vacation and I think we have to take a ferry boat..I’m a bit scared. I don’t know how to swim @_@
