ALL ON BLACK

I spent the last couple of days exploring Atlantic City and the Jersey shore. When the lady visits we usually make it a point to spend my days off exploring a new city or area of the East Coast. There are so many interesting areas within a few hours of Baltimore. It takes a significant number of hours driving through rather dull landscapes to get to something outside of Houston. Atlantic City draws millions each year, but October is definitely off season for the area, so paired with the fact that my weekend is actually Tuesdays and Wednesdays we were able to spend (relatively) little and stay at the lovely Caesar’s Palace. We didn’t spend much time in the area, but we did manage to fit in quite a bit. We visited the largest Elephant in the world, Lucy, walked along the boardwalk, played (won and lost) a bit on the slots (I have a story on the future of slots in Maryland coming up so maybe I can expense my slot money as research?) ate awesome buffets, saw wind power mills, shopped and had a general blast.
