Hi everyone!
For many college students this week is Spring Break and Bryan and I headed off to Atlantic City! I’ve never visited New Jersey before so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. While it was rainy for the most part, we still made the best of it! Here are some pictures from the trip.
For those of you who don’t know, NYC is our favorite place to visit so on our way to Jersey we made a pit stop! We went right to The Nugget Spot for lunch. This place is one of my favorites. They make fresh chicken nuggets everyday of many flavors with corresponding sauces.
Next we were off to Atlantic City. It’s no Florida but I really wanted to see the beach so that’s exactly what we did. The first day the water was so calm and gorgeous. Even though it is still winter, being at the beach was still so relaxing.
Atlantic City is the home of many casinos. We went to a couple but didn’t gamble much.
We stayed at a really nice hotel casino and our room had a beautiful view of the beach.
Of course, we enjoyed various restaurants and what not. There were many holiday specials with St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner. Johnny Rockets is always a favorite of mine though!
The hotel had an amazing indoor pool with seven hot tubs! This was one of my favorite activities as it was so relaxing. I even got some reading in!
While the weather was once again not in our favor, we were still able to make the best of our trip. It was really nice to get away for a few days!
On our way home we found ourselves back in the city of New York. This time we went to see a famous mural in the Bronx of Big Pun. Then we headed to my favorite part of New York, Astoria, Queens. Astoria has the highest Greek population in the U.S.. There is great authentic Greek food and stores. We stopped at the grocery store with all the Greek products and got a few of my favorite things!
This had me missing Greece so much! The food was phenomenal! It got me excited for Greek Easter coming up and over course summer in Greece. Overall the trip was really fun and I can’t wait for our next adventure. Where should we go next?
