So fortunate to take advantage of a Christmas present from my daughter and son-in-law this long weekend.  

Thanks to them, I and hubby along with them, we were able to take a quick trip to Atlantic City and stay at the Revel Casino and Hotel.  

The respite needed to recharge and get a change of scenery.

My thanks to them for their giving nature. A few shots from our visit, enjoy!

I know we did.
