Mini Vegas...aka Atlantic City, NJ

We sailed all day....well, we actually motored all day because there was absolutely no wind! The flies were awful. Jared, Jessica, and I took turns going below deck to kill them. After the fly massacre, we counted a total of 138 dead flies. It was an eventful day. After an unanimous vote, we decided to stay at the Trump Marina in order to have actual showers instead of the daily sun showers (for those of you who don't know, this consists of a 5 gallon bag of hot water with a shower hose that is attached to the mast. It's basically a camping shower). Everyone was in a great mood after using the showers and getting ready. Next stop, the boardwalk. This obviously means everyone has to pose for a fun family photo :)



Once we hit the boardwalk, our mission was to find a restaurant agreeable to everyone. This can be quite complicated at times. Of course I used this time to take more photos. As we were wandering around the casinos, the boys decided to randomly put dollar bills into the slot machines. Ryan and my dad actually came out ahead! Thus, the addiction begins.


The boys decided to find a bar while the girls went shopping. Here is a picture of Jessica and I in the salt water taffy store:


We met up at the Tah Mahal Casino owned by Donald Trump (basically EVERYTHING in Atlantic City is owned by him). Maybe he should be president. It's a classy place.


Nobody can leave the Jersey Shore without eating one of these fabulous funnel cakes. We split this one with 4 people! Apparently, you can't leave the boardwalk without a massage, fortune reading, tattoo, or belly dancing costume either.
