Trip to Atlantic City






We left the day after Christmas to visit with Dave's family in Atlantic City, NJ. Dave's Aunt Anita lives between the Bay and the Boardwalk there. We enjoyed lots of good food (as always) and good company. Dave's parents drove up Christmas day and we joined them the next day. We got to hang out with Anita and Connie and got to see Uncle Mike and Jen, who live up there as well.

While there we visited The Atlantic City Aquarium (thanks to Dave's Aunts' treat) where Hero, Dave and I fed the stingrays and sharks. Corbin, our timid one, didn't touch; he just watched. We also held starfish and pet horseshoe crabs. We saw a large sea turtle, an enormous Moray eel, seahorses and many other beautiful sea creatures. What fun!

Dave and I also had the opportunity to go out for dinner on our own. That was also very nice! Since Bastian was having sleeping issues while we were there (he was still running a fever the first two days and was sleeping in a new place), we were missing out on our traditional evening strolls along the boardwalk in the evening after the kids were in bed. It was very nice of Dave's family to watch the kids so we could go out dinner! The kids got to enjoy shrimp and crab pasta while we were gone.

We had a wonderful, safe trip and enjoyed coming home as well!
