Jerry and I took a "day"cation Saturday, traveling the back roads, stopping to let me take pictures, and just enjoying each others company. We all need to get away and it doesn't have to be miles away!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-71410991806352346672016-05-23T20:19:26.644-07:002016-05-23T20:19:26.644-07:00I'm like you - from NJ but never thought about...I'm like you - from NJ but never thought about going to Coney Island.

I did ride the Cyclone! I had to - I was the only girl in the group of cousins! Even in those long ago years, I was not about to let the boys get the best of me. But we had some good times. No, we had some terrific times! Thank you, my friend, for a sweet trip down memory lane. (Oh, Lord - it was so long ago.) And thank you Pam, for a terrific laugh to begin my evening.

All that color ...Oh, what a fun and colorful place! All that color definitely made up for the overcast skies. I've never been to Coney Island either but I'm definitely a proponent of venturing to new places close to home. There's always a new adventure to be had if you're looking. And thanks for the fun facts! Those along with your great photos make me feel like I've just been to Coney Island!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-34251911670866273622016-05-23T08:03:30.842-07:002016-05-23T08:03:30.842-07:00Oh what fun to visit such an iconic place with pho...Oh what fun to visit such an iconic place with photo buddies!

Only in England, I tell you, only in England. Apparently the moths got to it and it had a hole in a less than strategic location and this traumatized him and well, he's a lousy swimmer. I can hear Dotti laughing all the way from there to here. Hahhaa, do NOT tell him I told you this story. And yes for day trips to new environs. This photographer is in dire need of that...AFishGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513718005250273753noreply@blogger.com
