Atlantic City!!
Last weekend Kyndra, Kelli, Megan and I braved the crazy crowds and boarded the Greyhound to Atlantic City. The bus was full of many elderly gamblers who didn't appreciate the 4 youngsters on the bus. The entire bus was sleeping so of course our talking seemed loud, loud enough that in fact one woman asked Kyndra and Megan to be quiet, like we were interrupting their movie or something.
After a 2 1/2 hour bus ride and another confrontation between Kelli and an eager passenger who couldn't wait to start gambling, we had finally arrived. In our minds we were expecting Atlantic City to be comparable to a Reno or Wendover, but to our surprise it was much nicer. The city was clean the boardwalk was beautiful and the shopping was great. Across from our hotel were several outlet shops so we checked out the sales and then walked down to the boardwalk. The weather was so nice, I can't believe it's almost the middle of October and we were tempted to lay out.
After some shopping we were ready for the real fun to begin. First we had a nice dinner at Ruth's Chris and then found our way to the Boardwalk Hall for a night of dancing. Our seats were great (thank you Kyndra) and the atmosphere was exciting. I didn't know how the concert was going to go and didn't know what to expect but when I found out I would be seeing a lot of the favorites from the season I got very excited thinking about all the dances I loved. 
It was amazing!!! As each dance started it instantly became my favorite. It was so fun watching them live and seeing just how talented they are. All of my favorites were preformed and it was one of the most entertaining concerts I have ever been to. It was so funny how the dances would affect me. I know this is cheesy, but some of the dances made me feel like I was watching I love story, each couple brought a story to life with each dance. If I could go back 20 years, I would have been a dancer.
The concert ended but we were all still a little high from our INSANE night so we decided to stroll up and down the boardwalk for a while before going back to our hotel. Our favorite part of the boardwalk were these little rickshaw type carts, but instead of someone pulling the cart or riding a bike they get behind the cart and push it along the boardwalk. Megan really wanted to just push one but after being told no several times we settled for a picture in one instead. Then me and Kyndra got an aqua massage to help us relax after our wild night and then we were ready for bed.

The next morning we slept in and grabbed some crepes before catching the bus home again (once again it was filled with tired gamblers). I had such a nice weekend just getting to know the girls a little more. I can honestly say that I would definitely go back to AC again!!
