Family Visit

Mom and Grandma have just taken off on their journey home. It was their first visit to New Jersey and the first time they were able to see the house first hand, and fun was had by all. It was a busy few days as we covered miles of this beatiful state, The Garden State.

First we were off to Atlantic City; Grandma loves the slots. We played the penny slots until about 1am and called it a night. I have to say that the pennies were quite enjoyable, as you get the entertainment of the slot machine without the rediculous gamble and cost. I "won big" on one machine when I hit 6,000 credits, $60, and it was enjoyable to sit their and listen to it count up and annoy others around me for about five minutes. Ha, 6,000 suckers! We spent the next day poking around the outlet stores and then went back home.

Yesterday we spent the day in the city, and tooled around Times Square wheeling and dealing for purses and posters. I think grandma had the most fun getting good deals on her name brand purses. It was a day of shopping and walking and we didn't really venture out of the midtown area. I did manage to get them onto the subway and we went to the Met, but it was decided we wanted to go back to midtown shortly after we arrived. Everybody had a lot of fun, and the city left us all charmed and gitty. It was a beautiful day and we were all quite tired by the time we got back.

All in all it was a lot of fun to have them out and spending time with each other.

More to come soon... I am easing into blogging.
