Monday April 23 & Tuesday April 24

Ronnie Wood's Art
Charlie on Atlantic City Boardwalk
This Nor'easter front settled in on Sunday and is still with us on Tuesday.  It has stopped raining but the winds are still strong and the ocean rough with 4 to 6 foot seas.  We hope things will improve by tomorrow but it is still questionable.  It is not unusual for these type of fronts to stall out along the east coast, making open water crossings difficult for boaters.
We were happy to be at the Golden Nugget the past couple of days, but we are ready to move on.  Monday we toured the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk............... tacky might be the best way to describe it.  We ventured about 2 blocks away from the boardwalk to find a liquor store & bank ............. Charlie was sure we were going to be mugged even though it was 3:00 in the afternoon.
The Golden Nugget where we are staying is in the Marina district.  It just received a $360 million dollar renovation and is quite nice.   We have both enjoyed the spa & had a massage.
Nor'easter - Atlantic City, NJ
 We missed a Ronni Woods (Rolling Stones guitarist) concert in the Showroom by a day, dang it!  We did visit his art gallery located at the casino/hotel and with prices ranging from $2,000 to $40,000 ........... we were not tempted to buy anything.  Still, the signed & painted guitar was pretty cool.
