Day 15: Atlantic City, NJ (Father’s Day)

Atlantic City beach
We woke to see many of the super sized boat had departed in the early hours.  Linda brought out the hidden Father’s Day cards and a present of “20 Spaghetti Westerns” box DVD set.  Brian only recognized two actors names; Terence Hill (Mario Grotti) and Lee Van Cleef.  Shortly after that surprise, we jumped on a Jitney (an Atlantic City bus service) and rode over to the Revel casino on the boardwalk.  The Revel unofficially marks one end of the boardwalk and our goal was to walk the entire thing…about 38 city blocks worth.  We did walk through a few casinos to cool off (we didn’t do any gambling).  We also had a nice rest at the Pier Shops where there is air conditioning and chairs, with a bit of sand underneath,  are placed along the glass windows overlooking the ocean.  We finished the walk and although tempted to use the rickshaws, we ended up walking back to have “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” at the Margarittaville Restaurant.  We again celebrated Fathers Day with a cheeseburger (Linda’s cheeseburger was gluten free).  Linda sipped on some wine and Brian downed four margaritas.   We caught another Jitney back to the Golden Nugget for a dip in the pool.
