Frozen Margate

Last Thursday, I woke up in a very cold Atlantic City.  

I checked out and saw a robot cleaning the floors on the way out.  

I drove to Margate and had breakfast at Gilchrist.  

 Then I walked over to the beach to check it out.  

It was pretty but frozen.

Then I went to the house.  The city did not do a great job plowing.  Only a single lane down the roads.  I had to park ni the middle of the street.  I slipped and slided on the ice.  

Don't usually see this place like this.  

Lots of snow out back.  I picked up Hot Bagels then headed home.  

Later that night, Ariel went on her first school ski trip.  This was the only pic we got.  

We tracked her on the slopes.  She did well and had a really good time.  

I picked her up at 10:30.  It was chaos.  There were like 300 kids on the trip so so many cars.  

Last Friday was crazy cold.  

Demy had some yogurt for breakfast.  

Ariel didn't go to school.  She didn't feel well.  Sore from skiing and other stuff.  She was well enough to bedazzle things.  

Cece came over later.  

Have a great weekend!  Stay warm!

 

Back and Forth

It's Wednesday night.  We just had two days in a row over freezing!  The snow is still here but it looks a little smaller.  Speaking of snow, this was my view of Atlantic City early last Wednesday at 6:30 or so in the morning.  

I drove home.  They are taking down the toll booths on the Atlantic City Expressway.  

I went to the funeral of my parent's dear friend Rhona.  She was aunt Rhona to my sister and I.  We spent so much time with them when we were growing up so we have great memories.  

I drove back to Atlantic City.  These cookies mean it was time for our party.  

That's some piece of meat.  

Party time!

Happy 70th birthday Ricky!

I get to see Kevin from Chicago a couple of times a year.  

Dav emet me back at the Borgata and we had a fun night!

 

Partying with Dierks Bentley

Last Tuesday, I got my tooth fixed early then headed to the shore.  The snow everywhere was solid and shiny.  Totally frozen.  It was a quick hour and a half drive to Atlantic City.  

It was pool convention time.  

I walked around to check things out.  A robot sprinkler.  

Robot pool cleaners.  

I can't believe they brought this giant pool with them.  

Tiny saunas.  

Nice outdoor kitchens.  

The view from my room at the Borgata.  

Atlantic City was frozen.  

Heading out to dinner.  

Our annual trip the awesome Cafe 2825.  Making burrata tableside.  

Because I wasn't supposed to eat that day as my crown dried I ended up getting a huge piece of lasagna that I could swallow without chewing.  

We had fun with our Japanese vendors.  

Then we went to a party at the Hard Rock.  

A party with Dierks Bentley playing.  

This was quite a party.  Unlimited food and drink.  

I don't love country music but I like live music with great musicians.  

There's hope for Eli and his violin!

That was fun.  I then headed back to the Borgata.  

I was up late wandering the casino.  

Fun night!
