Atlantic City
I'm headed for Atlantic City this weekend to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I have never been there, even though it is just a short trip away.
When I think of Atlantic City my mind conjures up images of the 30's and 40's. I think of the boardwalk and salt water taffy. I also think of the old swimsuits that covered most of your body, that I wish were still popular today. Ha! I have a feeling that is NOT what I will find, but I know I will enjoy the weekend, anyway.
I have decided to go on the train (suitcase and all) instead of making the drive. I use to love, love, love traveling on the train when I was a kid. We lived in Texas and would take the train to visit relatives in NYC. It would take us 2 1/2 days. My mom would pack a sack of non-perishable foods we could eat while on the train. I especially remember the Velveeta Cheese and crackers. Eating in the restaurant car was far to expensive but we would have breakfast there at least once.
This ride won't be that long and I won't need a snack sack...but I am taking inspiring magazines to read and a spanking-new journal to jot down all the creative ideas that pop into my head as we rattle down the tracks.
Take a Hershey bar with you too! ;-)
