BorGETAWAY II
Look where we ended up again?
Didn’t think we would be back to the Borgata in a while but I guess certain occasions warrant special trips . . .
Although I didn’t get to do any celebrating on my ACTUAL birthday. Chris went out of his way to make sure I did something special.
After work, we headed over to The Melting Pot in Atlantic City. I chose this over a fancy steakhouse because it really is a meal AND an experience. We had so much fun trying new cheeses and both of us tried duck for the first time! Its uhh . . . different. I don’t think ill ever be a fan of such a gamey meat though.
Dessert came candles . . . ![]()
We ate slow and savored every bite. I didn’t feel the least bit guilty walking out of there which is something I couldn’t say last time we went.
Afterwards we headed to our room which had a great view and a nice king sized bed. ![]()
We were out like lights just before midnight . . . soooo much foood!!
When we woke up we had time to shower and dress quickly as I had an appointment for my very first massage at the spa!
It was awesome, I cant believe I never had a massage before. Part of me feels guilty thinking that someone else is working just to make me happy. I got over it quick though and I cant wait for my next one when I can afford it . . . like 12 years from now . . .
We had lunch at Applebee’s afterwards because we were starving and had a gift certificate.
I look relaxed huh? ![]()
I’m so happy with my gifts from Chris!!
The fun isn’t over yet . . . We are FINALLY going to purchase something that we REALLY need tonight.
Can you guess what it is?





I <3 massages. It took me a really long time to let myself relax enough to enough it (OMG I'm naked in front of a virtual stranger) but I've become more comfortable and very glad I can have massages regularly.
So I'm going to say what my math tutor in high school said to me: I hope you are successful enough to be able to afford to have a massage whenever you want it.
That’s exactly what I felt like!!
The whole time I had to tell myself to be in the moment and block out all of that mental noise.
That’s a good goal to work towards from your teacher
Hmmm, don’t know what you’re getting, but I just stopped by to say how cute your hairs looks curled!
Thank you!
Chris loved it. It was a nice change but not sure it was worth using my whole lunch break and a half can of hairspray for . . .
What a fun birthday celebration! I have never been to the Melting Pot but it sounds delicious.. I love fondue!
I totally reccomend going! It’s a bit pricey but it’s so worth the experience.
You can also just go for dessert and a few drinks. Some of them have ladies night specials
