Lucy welcomes you!

So, there's this hotel in Margate, NJ that's shaped like an elephant.


Really. Her name is Lucy and she is an example of "zoomorphic architecture." She was built as a tourist attraction in the early 20th century and is a National Historic Monument.


The eyes are windows into someone's room and look out towards the sea. I don't know much more than that because we didn't take the tour, but I think I got a well rounded experience just walking around taking pictures and visiting one of the most elephant centric gift shops I'm ever likely to visit. I bought Pippa the cutest present that I would have died for at almost 3 years old...


How much more is there to say about an elephant shaped hotel? I've seen it and should you ever have to be in New Jersey, it's one of the few things worth seeing...


How cool is that water tower?

After that we visited the Atlantic City boardwalk and looked at the sand dunes and the sea.

And all the casinos on the water...

Then we had a margarita and some pita and hummus on the boardwalk and came back to the hotel.

Felt like a day off. Kind of was a day off! It's 5:30 and I don't have to be at work until 7 for our 9PM show tonight and I should be home by 11PM.

Tomorrow I'll try to remember to post our itinerary for all those who want to know where we'll be this fall.
