My Parents visit including Atlantic City-August 6-7th

NEW YORK
My parents arrived on late Wednesday night. On Thursday, we met up for lunch around the neighborhood. We went to a delicious steakhouse.


I had to go back to work unfortunately, but we all met up later.
Dad and Mom picked me up from work (in a cab--there's a side story my Mom would love to tell) and went to my humble home on East 78th.

My Dad made friends with Lulu--because he was giving her TREATS!

After hanging out at my apt, we went to dinner at LUPA, Mario Batali's famous Italian Restaurant.


Friday, my parents toured the city. That night Mom and I went to go see "Light in the Piazza".
Here's us enjoying our pre-show drinks.

ATLANTIC CITY
It was a short, but fun trip! The 4 of us piled into Steve's parent's minivan, faught our way through the Jersey Shore traffic and ended up winning big!



The 4, yes, the 4 of us ALL shared our lovely room in
the Tropicana Hotel. A toast to the weekend...lord help us all!
Fortunately, we all survived and I still have a boyfriend!

We had mojito's in Cuba, next to Stalin and P.F Chang's (the Tropicana was full of Commies) on Saturday night.

After a delicious dinner we headed to the casino....


Daddy winning BIG! Though his bucket is near empty...
oh wait...I think I see a quarter in there.


Pulling the slots.



....After the parents got tired, Steve and I proceeded to the roulette table in the Hilton where we won big...after several hours and many drinks later!


We enjoyed the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. And a nice stroll down the boardwalk!

After a yummy lunch at Corky's, it was time for us to go. We worked our way back up to NYC--even with all the truckers drinking all the F-ing lattes--and dropped Annie and Greg off at JFK.
