Sam's Favorite Ride

Many of you know that Adam and I LOVE New York City. Yes, the Sheidy Rednecks love the city too. We've been going there since we began dating back in 1997. Before Sam & Gabby came along, we would stay overnight in the city and visit Times Square, go to Yankees games, hang out at our favorite bar McSorley's and shop along Canal Street. We would go to New York City at least 5 times a year. Those days are long gone. But, a spur of the moment decision yesterday brought us back to New York with Sam & Gabby. One place in New York that Adam and I have always wanted to go to, but never had, was Coney Island, home of the Famous Nathan Hotdogs. I have to admit, that it was probably the most dirty, disgusting place that I have ever been to. Interesting...yes. We can now say, we've been to Coney Island. Tons of people...different people...all types of different people. The kids had a BLAST! Sam and Gabby have never been to an amusement park before and we were always concerned that it would be too overwhelming for Sam, but he did remarkably well even without a nap. They enjoyed the kiddie rides so much and we couldn't keep Sam off the motorcycle ride. It was hard for Adam and I too put him on by himself since adults weren't allowed on this particular ride. The look on his face was so priceless when the ride started...scared at first...permanent smile after. It was awesome! The pictures will speak for themselves. Since this trip worked out so well, we will use our tickets to Lake Compounce very soon...Can't wait!
