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 . . . Birthday cake

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.  IMG_7534

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? Winking smile

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!

    • Val says:

      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!

    • Val says:

      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 ;)
