I'm surrounded by Mets and Yankees Fans...

And Giants Fans, and Jets Fans... ugh.

But thats ok.. i'm on vacation.. and I don't care. Little hazy today but spent a good portion down on the beach. the wireless internet really stinks here, and trust me.. i'm not complaining about it. We just came back from the beach/pool and cleaning up before going to Dinner. Maybe we'll do the Ravioli House tonight. Should be a good time. I haven't been to the boardwalk yet though, but hopefully will be down there tomorrow.

It makes me want to buy a house down here..

Greetings from the Monterey!

Well we're here! all unpacked! and hanging out with Family. here are a few pictures from yesterdays beach event!








we're home!

actually.. we're not, but we came back to a place that we stayed a while ago, and it feels like home. It's called the Monterey - and to be honest, it's clean, it's oceanfront, and it's 1000000 times better than the place we just left. we don't get a refund but who cares at this point. i'm glad we're out of there. Oh.. and parking is right here too. I'll post pictures soon.

Vacation Day 2...

If Trip Advisor asked me to write a review about where I was staying.. it would go a little something like this:

β€œDon't Even!”
Bolero Resort

Where do I start? I can say that checking in wasn't bad. We stood in line for 15 minutes while the staff just sat there and looked over papers while people were waiting in line. We got our room, third floor on the motel side of the place, which is pretty cool if you're a teenager.. The place charged us for having a baby in the room, which I still cannot figure out... because she takes up so much space... Parking's hit or miss. IF you get parking, good job, they have two adjacent lots, and then there's the one main lot. You really want to get the one main lot right? Wrong.

We unpacked our car in five trips. yep. five. Oh.. and i'm sure you already saw how people stood in the hallway and didn't give a shit about you being there, because you were going to be in THEIR way for two seconds. But I digress. We unpacked, got everything situated, went to dinner, came back went to the front office, asked for a different room and moved into the different room this morning. Upgrade huh? Pretty nice for a family right? A double bed and a single bed... nifty... We went to the 7th floor pool, and saw some people swimming in the pool, only to find out that when the went half way under water, they were gone because it was so dirty. The front pool you can't even go near because there's a family that took over the place... and all of their families family came down to join them (more on the parking spots...)

We went out today to hang out with cousins and that was an awesome time. You know why? it was a different hotel, and we were with family. when we came back we found that apparently it snowed down here because there were chairs that were "reserving" a parking spot for a room... i almost flipped. we went back out tonight to go to dinner, try Little Italy.. awesome!!! I should also mention that our sink doesn't turn off. its actually constantly running. I seriously try not to look for the bad in situations. Some of these things I would seriously brush off my shoulder and not think twice, but when they all happen one after another, and after another.. then something's wrong...

o Liked β€” Hanging out at another hotel, Breakfast
o Disliked β€” checking in, dealing with front desk, parking, pool(s), the area, smells...



So that about wraps that up... Other then that I enjoyed the beach. We took emma to the water for the first time. Lets just say she needs to 'warm up' to it a little bit..

Vacation All I ever wanted (to get away from...)

Our first day of vacation.. and what else can I say? Three severe thunderstorms, a room that smells, a room that has walls that are paper thin.. When we checked in today we thought we were golden by getting a room poolside, little did I know that we were poolside, three floors up, no elevator, and loads of people who just sit there and stare at you when you're carrying a crib, three bags and a camera... and did I mention they wouldn't get out of your way because they don't understand "excuse me?"

I went to the front desk tonight after I got home and ask the girl at the desk if we can move our room to the elevator side of the hotel, which she did say we could, which I can't wait for (hey 8:00 am here we come)

I wish i could show you pictures, but to be honest.. I'm a little embarrassed...

i hopefully will have good news for you guys tomorrow..

It's 7:40...

and there are two kids outside across the street with a jackhammer, who apparently work for a paving company... and they don't know how to use it. I really wish I was home all day to videotape this masterpiece. Because I've seen it for five minutes already, and it's funny as hell... They're arguing back and forth on why the hammer won't "penetrate" the cement and they called their boss and they still have no clue what's going on.

ahhh greatness.


thank god I'm at work all day to so I don't have to hear it.

I am addicted to WaWa Coffee...

I just thought I'd share.. because it's true. I can seriously drink maybe about 6 cups of WaWa 24oz coffee...
