I have almost been blogging 2 weeks and have only missed a couple days.  I think that is good for me. Of course we will see how it goes once we get into the full swing of having travelers every week.  But I have to say, I am kind of proud of myself.  Yesterday was suppose to be a half day of cleaning and then a nice afternoon on the beach but the weather did not want to cooperate so it turned into a massive full day of cleaning.  We were all exhausted by the time the travelers floor was finished.  It has been determined that I could never be a housekeeper or a maid.  Blinds, baseboards and toilets are not my friend!  After our success in cleaning we still went on our 3 mile walk (in the rain) and we even attempted to jog some.  We also watched a TERRIBLE movie last night.  I think it was called "Last Kiss" or something.  I suggest not wasting your time on it.  By the time I made it up the stairs for the last time last night it decided to storm like crazy.  So I had to just make myself go to sleep.  My room is great for the view of the ocean...not so great for the sound and light show of a storm!

Since we completed so much cleaning yesterday we did not have to do as much today.  Picnic lunch on the beach was great.  We even all put on sunscreen today.  Apparently we are not all that great at it though because we have sunburns in every area that did not get covered.  It is kind of funny.  After a few hours on the beach we headed into Atlantic City.  Tried my hand at the slots and discovered real quickly that I do not enjoy it all that much.  It is fun as long as you win but overall not that entertaining. I enjoyed the people watching much better.  There are some crazy people out here, that is for sure.  We had a drink at this cool little beach bar place and dinner. It was nice to get out and relax for a bit.  When we got home I had flowers from Mom waiting on the porch for me :)  Tomorrow the plan is shopping in Ocean City.  It will be weird not being home or around my friends for my birthday but I'm hoping for a memorable one here in New Jersey tomorrow.  I got a couple pics in today but will take the camera and get some tomorrow. 

Funny of the day:  Eating dinner tonight, we had some Chinese food.  Laura (co-worker from Scotland) took a bite and found a chili pepper.  Description was:  It is was like falling face first into fire!  In her words, it was the worst 20min her mouth has ever experienced.
