Vacation: Atlantic City, New Jersey (6/25/09-6/26/09)

Atlantic City
On the 10th day of our family vacation, we drove from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Jim found a nice hotel right on the boardwalk. Katherine couldn't wait to swim in the ocean. I had packed gallon-sized ziplock bags for seashells. We found lots of them! We walked on the boardwalk for a bit with the children, got them dinner: gyros, and then left them in the hotel room watching cartoons. Jim & I walked all the way down the boardwalk and into four casinos: the Tropicana, the Trump, Caesar's Palace, and Bally's. It was our first time being in those establishments and discovered it is not for us. We did not gamble and couldn't wait to get back to our hotel.
