Coney Island & Cotton Candy

Question:

What do you do when summer is officially here?

Go to Coney Island in Brooklyn...and let out all the stresses

of the world with ride after ride, and eat lots of cotton candy!!

...and that's exactly what the girls did!

This was our second time venturing out to Coney Island.  It is a quaint little park in Brooklyn near the beach and boardwalk. There are countless game booths with many rides whirling all summer long. The girls tested the mettle on the Cyclone two summers ago when we first moved here.

July 2009...
 They didn't this time around.

I remember how excited I was to ride the Wonder Wheel in person. It brought back memories of the cult classic movie, "The Warriors". I watched it years and years ago, and the only thing I remembered from the movie was that this gang was trying to make it back to their home which was Coney Island.

We topped off the day with a visit to Nathan's Famous  for delicious franks, corndogs, and greasy fries.

P.S. Hope y'all enjoy the faces of Chelsea and Noah eating corndogs & hot dogs.

Before the sunset, we decided to take a walk on the boardwalk. The days of summer have begun with hot and humid temperatures with a little bit of rain. 

This was a nice little getaway to have before Sierra takes off for EFY next week. 

*Ever been to Coney Island?
