48 hours in Atlantic City

IMG_5218

Sean is off on Thursdays - Saturdays so when he suggested we leave for Atlantic City, Thursday afternoon it didn't take me long to think about. I love any excuse to start my weekend earlier and since it was only going to be for two days, it meant that we were going to back home Saturday afternoon. Which to me is the best thing since I technically still had my entire weekend at home!

We were pretty thrilled to see that money and care is being put back into Atlantic City and that new businesses are being built at this very moment. I'll admit that for several years it was a little sad for us to see how Atlantic City was dying a slow death. But for the first time in a long while we actually see life being put back and we're looking forward to going back and seeing the changes.

Anywho ... we ate, gambled a bit, danced, walked the beach and board walk and that's basically my recap.

We walked the slightly deserted beach. We had hoped for beach weather this trip but that didn't happen
so we settled for walking the beach both days which to me is just as lovely.

We made a pit stop at Bally's Beach Bar for a few drinks. We use to come here several years ago when it was Sammy's Beach Bar.

Thursday night we gambled in the casino for a little bit and Sean just always, always wins.
I also just love this top Sean picked out for me. I intend to wear it for many summer nights this year.

The following day we took our time getting the day started and once we were up and at them we had a
delicious lunch at LandShark Bar & Grill. I loved our view while we ate.

Before we went dancing we had dinner at the VUE rooftop bar and grill.
Of course I had to take golden hour selfies on their rooftop.

We shared a chicken quesadilla which we both agreed was the best we have ever had.

After dinner, we went to Boogie Nights for a night of dancing to 70s and 80s music and had the best time!

And before we left we enjoyed ice cream cones on the board walk because summer!

  1. What a great time!!! Eric and I were just saying how we haven't been in forever and need to make a trip after this next little guy is here. It was so sad for a while but I'm glad to hear they are rebuilding. It has so much potential! All of your food looks amazing!!

    1. It really was sad to see how everything appeared to be falling apart and it feels good to see them rebuilding. I agree, it has so much potential especially with the beach! The food was so good too! :)

  2. Why was it falling apart? Wasn't there a hurricane or something that blew threw there a 2-5 years back? What year is it? I'm glad you two had a great time. I loved all the photos. I love that Sean picked out that shirt for you. You two are seriously the cutest.

    1. I think mostly because of Hurricane Sandy, I think that was in 2012 ... and then a lot of cities were opening casinos in their areas so people did not need to head to Atlantic City to gamble, etc. They could do it in their own hometowns.

      Hahaha, thank you!
