Atlantic City Boardwalk

Today was a lot of fun!
We woke up at around 8AM and went out of our room at around 10. We had breakfast (American pancakes!) at the boardwalk, meals here are so huge! I can never finish my plate!! It was so very hot today, the sun burned my sunburned skin. So I bought some sunblock with the highest SPF they had. I became so tanned after only a few hot days.

After breakfast we walked down the whole boardwalk. Donald Trump is definitely ruling over Atlantic City, with his Trump Casino, Trump Mall, Trump hotel etc. There is a Hard Rock Cafe at the boardwalk, so we had a drink there to escape from the heat. After a few hours of walking in the friggin hot weather, we decided to go back to our hotel.

Around 6PM we went back outside to have dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. I love that restaurant!! They have waiters dressed as Park Rangers and they have moving elephants, gorilla's and frogs in the restaurant. At the middle there is a huge fish tank with exotic fishes. Every half an hour there is a show. Thunder effects and animals making sounds etc. The food is very delicious!

After dinner we went to Steel Pier, a mini- fun fair. For 50 dollars we could take a helicopter ride through Atlantic City, but we didn't do it. There was a lot of UFO catchers and to my surprise they had Domo-kun plushes. Boy tried out shooting hoops to win a Domo-kun but still failed after 12 attempts so we gave up.

On our way back to our hotel I bought some Salt Water Taffies for myself and my parents, a specialty of Atlantic City.

Tomorrow we'll travel to Jersey Shore (It's T-shirt time!!) and we'll travel to Tony Soprano's house and the diner where the last episode of the Sopranos was shot.
