GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL!!!
At 2005-10-27 on 9:36 p.m.
Me and my hubby are back from our trip to Philly PA and we had a great time,better then what we thought!!
First off~our area of Florida wasnt hit by the storm so we're ok-THANK GOD-but we do have family that live in Marco Island and their dumbasses stayed for the hurricane and Marco pretty much took a direct hit but they are alive and well and of coarse they knew they would be ok-whatever-thier million dollar home that they rent wasnt damaged too bad but they lost thier boat dock and all the tree's in the yard and the windshield off thier boat and they still dont have power but they are ok!! My cousin Crystal and her family went to Orlando(its her parents who live in Marco)-they live near Naples but their house was ok too-didnt even mess up their screened in pool-im hoping my diaryland buddy Shelli/nascarwidow and her family are ok in Miami-i know they got hit hard too...my brother is down there helping out with the clean up efforts-he did the same in New Orleans/Mississippi...If your thinking of moving to Florida-move to our area-North Florida-we havent had a direct hit since 1964 and knock on wood we wont anytime soon!!!!..................
Our trip~we had a great early flight to Philly and arrived to rainy chilly weather and went to our hotel but it was too early to check in so we went to Lancaster PA to visit the Amish sights and we LOVED LOVED LOVED it and cant wait to go back-i soooo could live there-it was amazing-we went on a Amish horse buggy ride-yeahhhh :) and our guides name was EJ and he had his long white beard and his horses names were Tim and Tyler lol-I was in heaven-I love that lifestyle-we visited a lot of shops and had the best pretzel EVER made by these cute Amish girls and we had dinner there too and it was very good...those horses haul ass lol...we were going to go on a corn field maze but since it was raining we didnt-we'll have to do that next time!!! the gas there ws cheap too-it was $2.21 a gallon...I would recommend Lancaster PA to anyone who loves to do something different for awhile..........
The next day we headed to Atlantic City NJ and did the boardwalk and casino's and had a really good time there also-better then what we thought-it was our first time there-we kind of felt like Nick and Jessica when they went there(if you watched the newlyweds you know what im talking about)we were there for October fest and it was loaded with old folks and weird ass clothes and then i about killed my spouse-they pulled us aside in Trump casino and asked us if we wanted to do a time share tour and if we do we would get $75 cash and a 3/2 night trip and it would only take about 2 hours and my husband said yes-he ALWAYS says yes to these dumb things just to get the gifts!!! lmao its not worth the money to and gifts to me!!! we had to walk super fast down to Trumps Taj Mahal casino for the 2 hour torture and i was moody once we got there and when we walked in to the casino my hubby didnt see the last step and he busted his ass so that cheered me up!!! :) lol it was funny!!! then he got me back-he went to pull the chair out for me which he never does and i about fell and the guys was like have you guys been hitting the booze in the casinos-which we hadnt-just yet-anyway we got thru the tour and it lasted longer then 2 hours and when we didnt buy anything the guy turned into a major ass and very rude-i dont think anybody bought anything-he got hateful when we wouldnt give him 3 of our friends names and phone #'s so he could call them to try and get business-i dont give out anybodys personal stuff like that-period!!!.......i did win $84.25 on the pink panther game-lol-yeah me!!!
the next day my hubby had his class to go to so i slept in and when he got back we went to see the Liberty Bell and Ben Franklins grave and Betsy Ross's house and all the other sights like that and it was really amazing and fun and then we went and saw the sports stadiums and had our picture taken with the "ROCKY" statue-they moved it-its not on the stairs anymore where he ran up-then we went to the Philly's store and got my dad some birthday gifts-he is from that area and loves the Phillys.........
thennnnnnn-the next day we went to the King of Prussia mall and it was huge and wore us out and it was raining again and chilly and we had a nice dinner at the CHEESCAKE FACTORY and then the next night we came home....
our flight home was almost cancled-not because of the storm but because the plane was working right so they had to get us another plane and re-load us and our luggage etc...so we got home late.... but we had a ball and i did very well and held up well with the cold weather and my health issues...
the boys did well while we were gone and the house wasnt messed up too bad and it didnt smell like dog urine or poop so they must of took good care of BO-lol-we came back to chilly weather in Florida-it feels really good...I had my Drs. appt today with the neuro surgeon-finally-and I dont need surgery on my neck-yeahhh-i'll just have to go to pain management classes-whatever to that-i'll just deal with it like i have been!!!
i hope all has been well with everyone else!!!
