Beach Weekend

This past weekend, Chris and I packed up our beach bags and headed up to New Jersey with my Dad and step mom, Cindy for a long weekend.  It was my stepsister's daughter's second birthday and we decided to tag along.  Since our honeymoon Chris and I have barely gotten to spend anytime together with his military schedule and with the upcoming deployment creeping up on us, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to seize the day and take a long weekend together.  Besides, who can turn down a weekend at the beach? Not this beach babe.  Although, Chris seems to think he tans much more easily than he really does and never listens to me when I tell him he might want to out on sunscreen and ends up getting burnt the very first day.  All in all though, we had a really great time and perfect weather.  We stayed with my stepsister Jessie and her new husband Justin and their two dogs, Jake and Riley.  It was good to spend a  little extra time with them because we rarely get the opportunity to visit with them. 

Friday they both had to work, so Chris, Dad,  Cindy and I packed up the car and headed to the beach bright and early to catch a few rays and soak up the beautiful sun.  It looked a little stormy outside but turned out to be a beautiful day.  Of course, it wouldn't be a day on vacation with me if I didn't push Chris' button's just a little with a photo shoot :)

Saturday was Maddy's birthday party at the beach club.  The party started at 400, but we headed over to the beach around noon to hang out with the family and hang out on the beach for the day.  It turned out to be another gorgeous beach day.  Chris and I had a really great time, I'm really glad we were able to go up there! And of course, the birthday girl had a fabulous time as well! She's a little princess; her daddy's in for a treat once she gets older!

Sunday morning Chris and I headed to Atlantic City to spend the day/night up there.  Dad and Cindy had booked us a room there as a surprise, which was very nice of them :) I have never been before, so that was really fun.  We had a great time.  We gambled a little bit, walked the boardwalk, walked through a bunch of the big name Casinos.  We went to Carmine's for dinner and then actually went and saw the naked circus, which was pretty entertaining.  They weren't actually naked, more like half dressed, but still entertaining.  All in all a very fun day!

In other news, Abby Baby has gotten her meow back and seems to be on the mend :) Wonderful news in the Price household! It's wonderful to hear her start to talk again after listening to her squeak pitifully around the house for over a month.  It also means that her tumor is not malignant! whewwww!!
