Where is summer??? Not in AC!

Today at 3 pm marked one week since MY summer vacation started! But where is summer hiding???? Not that I want a drought in the area but come already... enough rain is enough rain for awhile! I keep thinking about the words to that Old Lit*tle Orphan An*nie song The sun will come out tomorrow... but every tomorrow is just as dreary as the one before. Actually... Today was WORSE than yesterday! So when will summer start??? Not tomorrow, that's for sure with THIS weather forecast...Variably cloudy, warmer and humid with an afternoon shower or thunderstorm possible! Is it too much to ask for a day or two of sunshine???

Despite the dreary forecast, we took a little overnight trip to Atlant*c City and had a great time on the boardwalk, the beach and at our hotel. It wasn't bikini weather by any means...(for me, it never was nor will be) but the beach was beautiful with the faint beams of sunshine sparkling across the ocean between raindrops. Shasha just loves the idea of having a huge sandbox to play in and a beach full of seashells just waiting to be picked up.

We had some lunch, did some shopping at the AC outlets and went to Caes*r's to watch their water show... I suppose it is just a tad smaller than that at the Bellag*o in Vegas but Shasha loves to go see the dancing water. We stopped in for some nachos at the Ra*nforest C*fe and all was well since we were far far away from the moving gorillas and elephants! After enjoying some coffee, hot chocolate and donuts... Shasha and I went back to the room to have some girl time and daddy went to play some slots. So we aren't rich or anything but he did win us enough money to pay for our room! Yippeee!!!

Since we had a fantastic ocean view from our room we enjoyed a lazy morning and room service for breakfast overlooking the waves before we checked out. A liesurely walk on the beach and in the ocean to collect some shells completed our short family trip to AC. Maybe the sun will come out for our next trip to the beach!
