Our breakfast. I ate egg beaters with mushrooms on a bagel, Apples with cinnamon, sausages. Joe tried a bagel with lox and liked it but said it was very rich. He also had a ham omlet, apple wedges and backon and sausages.

Joe and Jason went to play shuffleboard as Caroline and I sat on the deck and tried to get some sun. It was kinda cool that morning.

Lunch Joe had a steak sandwich and chinese egg drop soup.
I had chinese egg drop soup and awesome pasta.


Joe and Jason went to watch a movie.

We watched passenger feud.

Dinner was lemoncello night. I'm sad I didn't have my camera for this. We got 5 shots for $3.95 and it was awsome. It was lemon juice and lemon vodka. Caroline, Clara who's a little older than my mother's age and I were doing shots. Clara was outdoing me! By the third I was about done but they kept egging me on, so I kept going. They would say, ok, ONE, TWO, THREE and we would all do a shot while all the other tables nearby were watching. We had a blast!

For dinner I had bean soup, veal, salad and lemon sorbet.
Joe had swordfish, veal (2 entrees again!), shrimp cocktail, salad and chocolate for dessert. It was also our annivesary night so we got a small anniversary cake. Now you know why I was mad we didn't have our cameras!!!?

We got our B&W portrait done.

We all went into the casino and lost Money. Not that much but enough. I found a slot machine with a TON of nickles in it. I lost all those too! We lost about $14 playing roulette.

I got really tired early that night because I stopped drinking. Joe and I got in a little tiff, which depressed me and then I got all sad and started crying because I missed Joey a ton.

By popular demand, here is day 2. I'll discuss my hectic week(s) in the post after this.

Day 2 I woke at 6am. It would have been 9am eastern so it wasn't early for me! I noticed my sink was clogged. Needed to call someone to fix it.


Breakfast was egg beater mushroom omlet, warm cinnamon apples (2 servings!), fruit.

We had our spa treatment this morning. Caroline had a nail and hand massage/treatment. I had a hair/sculp massage treatment. I was thinking it was just a head massage. It was so marvelous. She put these oils in my hair and massaged them in and they smelled so good and relaxing.
Then she also did my back and shoulders. It was one of the best spa treatments I've ever had. WOW. When I was done I felt like a million bucks. She rinsed my hair for me and boy, I felt relaxed. Caroline was jealous. She didn't much like her treatment and said mine looked awesome and boy, was it ever! Joe and Jason said they sat on the deck and drank during our spa treatment. I'm not surprised!

We went to morning trivia. We did ok. The guy asked some really hard questions! It almost wasn't fun because it was so hard. Ok, I'm not really good at trivia anyhow - ok, I'm really bad at it! I went and my teammates were good, but I didn't much contribute!

Lunch: I had a mai tai (started early today) and it was the drink of the day - only $3.95. I had veggie burritos, salad, fruit and pumpkin pie. Joe had mussles, smoked turkey, mexican sandwich and pumpkin pie. YUM.

After this we sat on the top deck and drank.

We had wine tasting this afternoon at 3:15. It was fun. Caroline and Jason are BIG wine drinkers. I liked doing this because I learned how to drink wine the correct way, but I really do like the sweet drinks better. They had a very sweet dessert wine that I really liked while we were there.

We sat by the pool afterwards. I got a mint chocolate martini. The guy filled the glass up and I didn't understand why this other guy at the bar was kidding me about the large glass until Caroline told me it 100% alcohol. I was like, you have to be kidding me. I didn't drink it all - it was too much but it did taste like a peppermint patty! Joe had a Jack and coke.

We had a formal dinner this night. OMG I have not dressed up like this since my wedding, and that was in a wedding dress. I had a blast putting on the glam and I wore a floor length silver dress.

Dinner was wonderful. We finally met the missing couple that wasn't there the first night. Joe and Clara. Wonderful people.

For our formal dinner I had fruit, lobster bisque with shimp soup, salad, pasta with veal and mushrooms and souffle for dessert. Never had souffle before. It was very good.


Joe had lobster bisque soup, 2 shrimp cocktails, lobster dish with mushroom cream sauce AND a beef tenderloin dish (he ate two entrees most nights) and Joe had a chocolate torte for dessert.

After this we went to see the show the Piano Man. I was in LOVE. I'm a HUGE fan of 80's music and this show was tunes from Billy Joel, Barry Manilow and Elton John. Joe didn't much care for it but I loved it so much I told him I could see it a million times!! I loved the dancing and the great tunes. I was sooo happy!

After this we got a formal photo done and I love how it turned out. Cost me $22 to buy it as a 8x10!

We then went to the Newlywed game that evening. That was sooo funny. They ask the women to leave the stage and ask the guys to answer questions like what is the weirdest place you've ever done 'it', and more. One guy had his entire wife's family there and he was sooo embarrassed to answer any of these questions with them in the room. They actually ended up winning and they were just married. Jason said normally it's always won by the people who've been married 50 years or so. That couple was so funny - they hardly got any right. He was talking about him taking viagra. We were laughing soooo hard! While watching the show Caroline and I had some drinks. I had another Mai Tai, Caroline had a Martine and Joe and Jason had cogniacs. What an awesome day!!!
