Nik Wallenda in Atlantic City

Rob took a vacation day to go to the shore and have a beach & boardwalk day.  The weather was iffy so we opted for a last minute change of plans.  Nik Wallenda (having recently walked a tight rope across Niagara Falls) is in a show at the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City.  We were able to get back stage passes & front row seats.  It was really exciting to meet Nik and then get to see the show with such an up close view.  It's amazing what people are capable of doing!  There were magicians, a juggler who could juggle 5 soccer balls (with the use of his head) and even juggled 3 ping pong balls with his mouth while he juggled 3 soccer balls!  There was an acrobat who hung by ribbons from the ceiling and did her routine high above the stage and another who was able to contort in ways I couldn't have even imagined!  Oh and then there was Nik Wallenda who did an act with is wife on the sway poles that looked like they touched the theater ceiling and then a high wire act with his wife, mother & cousin.  The kids were all smiles and we all really enjoyed the show.  We topped off the day with dinner at PF Changs on the way home.  So much better than a wet day at the beach!
