{atlantic city...the meat of it}

that's what she said.  ;)  here are some pics of our days in atlantic city.

the first night we gambled. heck, we gambled both nights. ;) i don't have pics of our first day there on my dslr but we did take it out with us the second day.

much needed *first* coffee of the day.

she looks sleepy huh? pretty, but sleepy. tea for her!

after breakfast we headed out to the boardwalk and some of the shops.

i went out on the beach and collected shells for the kids. it's not that we don't have shells at our beach at home but these were everywhere. of course i forgot to give them to them. they are actually in my coat pocket. oops.

a shot of our hotel from the outside. we were way up there on the 67th floor.

we went in a mall thing. this candy store was awesome. and, i didn't buy anything. go me!

{yup, he's made out of jelly belly beans}

we checked out the levi's store. or i should say, i sat. lisa checked out.

the mall had lots of fun details.

and then, the most spectacular thing happened. i found a new top 5 {imo} starbucks. this just may be my second fave. it was beautiful and the view was ahhhhhhhhhhhhhmazing.

{i don't know them, but i wish i did. i'd love to give them this shot}

much needed *second* coffee of the day....

{isn't she lovely?}

after our coffee date we headed over to check out caesars.

that's about it. i have pics from our ride home including more food porn in a few days. ;)

a few months ago the kids and i met up with mom, manda, jess and the nieces and nephew for a walk.  we stopped for coffee along the way.  :)

{grateful....day five}

grateful day five.  i'm already behind.  i'm awful at this stuff.  lol. 

today {and everyday} i'm grateful for coffee.  besides my slight addiction to it, it makes me happy.  it's so much a part of my daily routine that if i don't have it my day just isn't right.

{Sbux with good peeps}

A while back lisa and i went to dinner and then to starbucks for coffee with jen.  :) it was a great night!
