For some reason, Erin really wanted to sleep in today. The sun woke me up at 7:30am, but I pulled the blackout curtain and we stayed in bed until 10am.
By the time we were ready to go, it was 11:30am and we headed back to the Borgata because a buffet is required when in a casino town. The Borgata buffet is supposed to be the best, but we missed the breakfast window. Instead, we went for lunch.

I didn't go too crazy with this one, getting small plates.
 |
| Slider, caesar salad, spanish potatoes, potato salad, and general tso's chicken. |
 |
| Crab ravioli, pork taco, popcorn shrimp, chicken dumpling, potato chip. |
 |
| Flank steak, meatball, salmon, mussels. |
OK, now for the part everyone cares about.
 |
| Chocolate cannoli, mini-cheesecake, strawberry eclair, apple pie! |
 |
| White cake, coconut macaroon cookie, brownie, passion fruit sorbet! |
At $20, I felt it was fair. This buffet was nothing like the Bellagio or Cosmopolitan in Vegas, but those charge $50 per person. Some of the items really tasted like buffet fare, but others were pretty good. Someone else will have to be brave and try the $8 buffet at Trump.
After lunch it was time to drive north. Erin was trying to navigate us home, but I decided vacation shouldn't end just yet, so I took us to the beach.

Erin forgave me for the extra delay because she enjoyed the sun. On the downside, the sand was really hot on the way in and it burned her feet. It actually caused multiple blisters! Not good.
On the way out of the beach, we found an old military fort.

| A lighthouse |
 |
| There were 50ish buildings just like this one. |
Sandy Hook was a good stop, but it was finally time to go home for real.
 |
| Driving straight towards the WTC. Almost there. |
 |
| Home! |
Our final vacation meal was a delivery pizza.

Our day-by-day tracker has reached an end, but I have a few wrap-up posts still to come.
