I'm excited to have my first guest post on my blog today! And it's an extra special guest poster- it's my Dad! (My cutie patootie nephew was not involved in this blog post, but I'm sure he supports it.) He recently went on a trip to Atlantic City and came home talking about how much fun it was. He just started using a digital camera and enjoyed getting to document his trip. When he was showing me the photos I told him it would make a great blog post and that he should write one. He always reads my blog and comments to me about my posts, and I was so excited that he wrote one. (And that he's embracing technology!) I hope you guys enjoy!
Hello everyone! This is Don, Erin's dad, sharing my two day getaway from PA with you. I traveled to Atlantic City Tuesday for a little time at the beach. I don't gamble, but I do like to walk the boardwalk and shop.
By being there in the middle of the week I got a great room sale at the Showboat Casino. It was $22.96 for the night. (It goes for $200 in the summer!) The Showboat is in the North Boardwalk area. There are not many stores or things to do in that area, but you can get great deals on hotels. The Revel hotel next to the Showboat almost wasn't built. It was under construction during the recession and as the company lost money the project got put on hold. The city actually had to bail out the hotel so that it could be completed.
The Tanger outlet stores which I shopped at are in mid City, between the Convention Center and Caesars on the Boardwalk. The Outlet Stores offer a wide variety of styles and selection. My favorite stores are the Izod and Columbia stores. Erin really likes J.Crew.
Atlantic City is currently renovating some of the area. Where the Sands Casino once stood there is now a large empty lot. The city turned it into a public park for artists to use as they wish.
Someone made a wooden pirate ship! It was warm and sunny and nice to be by the ocean. It was a great little getaway!
