'21/#40 Atlantic City Slots Give Out Jello!

Not really. We are near Atlantic City and we did drive through but we were seriously underwhemed. Hotels and casinos on top of each other surrounded by slums on one side and rich beach homes on the other. Oh yeah, there is supposed to be some sort of a boardwalk but we decided not to fight for a parking spot near the casinos or fight our way out of the neighborhood slums.

Any way that was the end of our day. It started out great with a trip down to Cape May to see the lighthouse. Pretty lighthouse with a cute artsy community nearby. Neither of us felt up to climbing the lighthouse so pictures would have to suffice. Driving back we stopped and saw the Hereford Inlet lighthouse in Wildwood. Cute lighthouse in a cute beach neighborhood with lots of new condos. Pretty, but we just are not beach people any more. Then it was on to Atlantic City. I've already told you what we didn't like, but there was a bright spot. At the north end of the city, the not so good part of town, we found the Absecome Lighthouse. We didn't stay long since they were closing up for the day and we didn't want to stay in that neighborhood too long. 

We headed home for some dinner and discussion. The topic was our itinerary. Not much more we wanted to see here and the trip to our next destination was our longest of this journey. Why not leave a day early, stop half way, and arrive rested for our next extended stay with friends in North Carolina. Atlantic City didn't pay out big money but we did hit the "jello" jackpot. Yes the jello that our plans are written in. Shake the jello and get those wheels rolling. Another positive note is that we don't have to leave before the crack of dawn. 

So those are the new plans and this is the rare two blog day. This is also my second goodbye today from our home in New Jersey because.....

Home is where we park it,
