The DogmomDiva heads East, Part Three

Atlantic City was a lot of fun..we had a really nice room at the Trump Taj Mahal hotel, Shelly happened to get a comp room and I think with tax it was like $20 for the night.  What a deal is that!  Like I said, we were all traveling on a tight shoestring so saving money was a very good thing.
I enjoyed the hotel and walking down the boardwalk..Great for people watching which I love to do..restaurants, souvenir shops, pizza joints, arcades, casinos..right next to the Atlantic Ocean.  Very cool.  It was unbearable hot, however, most of the trip.  I live in the desert, we don’t normally have much humidity, so it just about knocked me out..but I kept going best I could..thank goodness I was in a ‘good’ cycle and not in too much pain for the most of the trip…I did pretty much ‘drop’ the last day before flying home..I knew it was going to ‘hit’ me, and it did.  But I was determined to have fun and do the best I could…here are some pictures of our Atlantic City overnight

I loved Atlantic City, so much history there..One thing I love about the East Coast is that so many buildings and homes are so old.  Most homes and buildings on the west coast are under 100 years old..love the history and beauty of the older buildings!
After our overnight in A.C., (which none of us came up lucky at all but who figured we would, not us!) we headed back to Anne’s home..the next day was Saturday and we needed to rest up for our trip back to Pittsburgh with a stop in Lancaster County, PA, home of the Amish community.  Rest up, girls!

  2. I am so glad you had a great trip. Mom and I went to Lancaster county a few years ago and it was a lot of fun. We loved visiting the amish stores and had a tour of the area. I would love to go back someday.

  5. It has been very hot and humid on the East Coast for most of July! I guess it's making up for last summer, which was practically cold!
