Scenes At The Atlantic City Shore

This weekend, Kepi, Mom and I drove to Atlantic City (AC).  AC is a good four-hour drive from where we are, so once I finished work on Friday, we hopped on the car and drove to AC. We spent a night at The Chelsea Hotel, which I will later review, if they won't redeem themselves in time. (I'm still thinking on how to approach our dismal hotel experience with this hotel, but I am going to give them time to redeem themselves since they have offered us a complimentary room for our next visit.)

On Saturday, we spent the early morning walking along the AC beach, collected sea shells, breathe in the cold sea breeze and chased Seagulls having their breakfast by the shore.

Waves of sand.

AC in the morning.

I took home several of these black shells.

Seagulls observing us and us observing them.

A perfect morning for meditation.

Until a wave splashes and I'm back to reality.

Interesting sand prints.

AC at this time of year is still a bit chilly, but it makes it easier to walk the entirety of the boardwalk sweat free. We explored the casinos, did our trinket shopping and dined boardwalk style - hotdogs and soda.

It was a fun and enjoyable day. My feet and legs are still aching from all the walking we did.

I am looking forward to visiting in the summer.

Bellagio's Exhibit - Year Of The Dragon

One of the things I was looking forward to when we flew to Las Vegas last month was Bellagio's exhibit. I couldn't stop thinking or guessing what would it be until we finally stepped on the hotel.

I love that Bellagio did their exhibit on the Year of the Dragon.

Bellagio's stunning glass flowers as you enter the lobby.

Chinese red lanterns behind the receptionists' table.

Flowers, Chinese coins for good luck and the Double Dragon.

Burning incense.

Golden Dragon.

Red Dragon.

This Chinese girl is dressed with flowers.

This to me is most impressive. Literally, the painting is alive. They used real flowers and plants to make this painting come to life.

ONE SMART BEAGLE

Authored by Raymond Whitney

Since we upgraded our television package at www.expertsatellite.com, my dog has been going nuts. I know that this sounds silly, but he loves to watch television! When I am not in the room and he thinks he can get away with it, I will catch him up on the couch, at eye level with the television. He really looks like he is interested and watching the tv. The funniest is if another dog come on tv. He will start barking like the dog is in the room. I didn’t think that dog’s vision would let them see little things on the tv, but he can see it great. It is hilarious to watch him bark at the tv. That is one way that he busts himself on the couch. Sometimes he will start barking in the living room. When he does, I come running. If he is on the couch I make him get off. I wonder if he will ever realize that he is giving away that is on the couch which is a huge no-no? I’m sure it is only time. He is one pretty smart little beagle!

Vegas In February

I'm still nursing this annoying sinusitis, but it has gotten better since I finished my five day antibiotics treatment. I hope that I'll feel normal in a couple of days, as spring seem to have sprung here quite early. Today feels like 50 degrees and I don't know if I should be excited or sad since this might mean summer will be freakin' hot.  But while my mind ponders about spring and summer, I can't help but miss being on vacation.  Visiting Vegas recently bestirred my love for travel.  Last year, I took several months off from traveling due to my aplastic anemia treatment, but now, I can't stop thinking about exploring another city, state or country.  For now, I have places to visit swirling on my mind.

Here's a photo I took in Las Vegas this month. I think photography at night in Vegas is more enticing than at daytime. The place seems dead at daytime anyway and you'd be awed at how the city comes alive at night. Also, I've been in Vegas at several times of the year, and the best seasons to go are in spring and winter. It was really cool and nice when we were there, and it's so much nicer to walk around The Strip without being drenched in sweat.

There'll be more photos of Vegas to come. I'm just thinking where to travel to next.
