Office Field Trip

The people I work with are super cool. Not counting the congressman, there are eight people working in the DC office. Minus one, we are all so much fun to hang out with. Since we are so cool, we thought it would be fun to get out of the district and head up to Atlantic City for a weekend of fun times. So we did.

We left Friday at three. Five of us went Friday plus one friend and our leg. director met us the next day. We got our rooms, unloaded some stuff, and grabbed dinner. Then we hit the penny and nickel slots. Hey, on a government salary, we can’t afford to go too big. We were in the Tropicana and wanted to check out the other casinos. We headed out onto the boardwalk and went to Caesar’s and Bally’s. Maybe one of Trump’s but if we did, it wasn’t terribly memorable. Then we went to Chelsea Pub and Hotel. It was thereon referred to as “My Pub.”

I got about five hours of sleep because I needed to be up for the massage I had scheduled at 10:00. It was my first ever, and it was Ah-mazing. I could’ve fallen asleep on the table, but I was too hungry to.

For lunch, we went to a great little pizza joint and hung out on the boardwalk for a while. The guys threw the football around, and one of the guys went in the water. Although the weather was pretty nice, the water was super cold.

Before going down to the casino floor, we headed over to My Pub again for some food. They don’t give discounts to people named Chelsea, but I tried. Back on the casino floor, I played the slots again and a little video poker. But I wasn’t getting enough action, so put on my big girl britches and headed over to the roulette table. I lost a bit before I won big. I reluctantly left the tables with $100 over and cashed in my chips.

The next morning, we peaced out at 11:00. The temp dropped and it was super rainy and overcast. We were glad to be getting out of there. We made it home around 5:30 after a terrible experience at Cracker Barrel, but an amazing weekend in Atlantic City! Office field trips are sooo fun!! Next up is Baltimore for our LD's wedding.
