When my mom and her siblings were children, every year they would get a house down Atlantic City. Some of their fondest memories come from these times and my aunt has been dying to get back to explore.
We hit the road one Sunday so she could see how it has transformed from her childhood years. With me at the wheel, Bey & Sam Smith pulsing through the speakers, and Starbucks in my hand - we were ready to go!

| My mom thinks we should get matching tattoos. I think I should just buy us matching anklets. |

| I thought this would be the perfect souvenir for my brother. I don't think he got my joke. lol! |

| I couldn't decide which margarita I wanted and then I saw an option for a flight - decision made. |

| Oh Margaritaville - you have a place in my heart. As I drank, my mom was sending pictures to my father who wanted to know how many ounces were in each glass. I told him 16 - I knew I would be questioned about that further later - lol! |
After consuming all my margaritas and most of my burger, it was time to rush back down the boardwalk to catch our Cirque du Soleil Show, Ovo.
Let me rewind a bit - I HATE seagulls. My biggest fear is being shit on by one of them. When they dive in low, I get all squeamish and want to run, but I just walk faster. SO as I am hustling back down the boardwalk, I feel this warm sensation hit my arm. I look down and I exclaim LOUDLY, OH F&*K! Everybody turns around and looks at the shit on my arm and down my black dress. My mom grabs my phone and bag. This lady who is walking by throws her bottle of water on me (so now I have spit and shit on me) and starts wiping my arm, as I wipe my dress. She then asks for a selfie with me and she wants a kiss...because after all, IT'S HER BIRTHDAY AND SHE WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY! I oblige and thank her for her help - and silently I am still cursing, but at least it did NOT get in my hair, right?! And apparently, being shit on is good luck - so they tell me to go play at one of the casinos.
Anyways, there was no time for my dramatics because the show started in 20 minutes...and we slid in our seats just in time. Ovo blew my mind! I was captivated the entire time.
After the show, we headed to the casino to try my luck. Nothing prevailed, however, how long does this good luck last?! Something has to come from the shit no?! It cannot be in vain.
Before leaving, I had to get some blueberry cheesecake ice-cream and funnel cake. We all shared so I didn't feel too bad about the calories.
What a great day (besides shit gate) working on my tan and exploring Atlantic City with my mom & aunt.

This was my face the day after when I sat down at my desk - no amount of coffee sustained me properly, BUT Rae & I went to the new Wawa for lunch and I discovered their milkshakes. And THAT was exactly what I needed to make it to 5pm.

Omg you ladies are so cute! Looks like you had fun:) I thought it was just me with my hatred for seagulls & pigeons. I encounter pigeons on my daily commute to work and they just make my skin itch anytime they come near me. Your experience is my daily fear!! I am due a trip to AC and while there I must try these margarita flights , they look yummy :)
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU Nataja! Ummmm...yeah, I do not do birds. And I reallyyyyy wanna go to the beach again THIS YEAR...so I either have to get over my fear, or book another all inclusive. STAT! And yes - you MUST try the flight. DELICIOUS!
