Scenes from my weekend…
Guys! We had our first kid free weekend and while it was fun I sure did miss the boys!
Here is what we were up to!
We hit the road early Saturday morning!
It was the perfect opportunity to use my new Mahi leather duffle.I’m obsessed with it. It arrived so quickly and when they told me they could monogram it I was in heaven. Jon and I got his and her bags and we got compliments all weekend.
After 3 hours in the car we finally arrived in Atlantic City! I had never been before, but who can say no to a little gambling.
When we arrived we went to the pool. For reason in my head I thought the pool would be a nice relaxing time and I bought a new book with me and a stack of magazines I hadn’t gone thru. Umm so I was totally wrong. The Pool was actually more like a CLUB, with a cover and music so loud I thought my head was going to explode. Yes, I felt like a grandma in there. I stayed long enough to eat lunch, but then I needed to get out! I don’t think my ears have recovered yet.
Chic cabanas were pretty much the only thing I could stand at the pool.
We decided to do a little gambling before getting ready for dinner. Go big or go home! Ah! Let’s just say we weren’t super lucky at the tables, but fun was had.
We headed to dinner at The Borgota and had to take a little group shot in their beautiful lobby before hand.
We ate at Homestead and our meal was delicious! Then we did a little gambling! Can you spy the two photo bombers in the photo?
I finally went to bed at 12:45am because I couldn’t handle it anymore. I was so sleepy! I was very excited to sleep in the next morning, but I guess my internal alarm clock didn’t get the memo and I was by 8am.
I had a super healthy breakfast!
{Not pictured: Bacon egg and cheese on a bagel that I also had! What? I was on vacation.}
The birthday boy still looking happy even though the tables weren’t too kind to him as well!
We took off after breakfast and made a little pit stop at Bass Pro Shops we don’t have one near us, so when Jon say it we had to go take a peek. At least Jon got lucky with the fishing. Haha.
Our last pit stop before heading back was a visit to Lucy the Elephant!I had never heard of Lucy before, but when I was researching must go places in A.C. she came up. She was built in 1881 as a street attraction and is older than the Statue of Liberty! She was moved two blocks down to a new location when her original stomping ground were sold to a developer. Since the 70’s she has been in her home. I was obsessed!
The gift shop was heaven! Elephants everywhere!
We waiting around to get a tour of Lucy and got to climb inside and check her out.

We had fun, but we were super anxious to get home and see our boys. Of course we had a long car ride back home full of traffic, traffic and more traffic! Ugh!
Happy Monday!

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I have loved Lucy the Elephant since I was a little girl!
