Feelin' Lucky?

On Saturday afternoon around 5 pm, John and I were on our way back from running errands when he looks at me and goes, 'do you want to drive down to Atlantic City?' I said sure as we actually enjoy a little gambling and haven't been all summer. So, we went home, got changed and made the 1.5 hour drive. We ended up at the Trump Marina first where I played the slots and John roulette. I was up by $40 but then proceeded to lose it all when we trotted over to Caesars. John said he didn't have the 'gut feeling' on the numbers that he normally does so it was short lived. We did however get to meet up with his Aunt Diane and Uncle Frank (casino regulars) for dinner at Trinity, an Irish pub in the Caesars casino. Then it was back in the car by 11:30 for the drive home. Thank heavens for Sirius satellite radio which makes all car rides now, not so bad.

Sunday we went to church and out for our favorite Sunday breakfast, Manhattan Bagel, and then took Duke to Tyler State Park in Newtown. John rode his bike and Duke and I walked, or rather he walked me as he is constantly sniffing and peeing and dragging me every which way. I'm a bit of an embarrassed mother when I watch all the other people with dogs who actually listen to their owners but then he looks up at me so excited to be out in the park that I can't help but smile.

We had dinner with John's Dad and stepmom in Doylestown and drove around looking at all our dream houses. Finished that up with football for John and People magazine for me. It was a nice weekend.
