summer means a trip to coney island

A loooooong subway ride out to Coney Island is on the agenda for our family every summer, and this weekend, despite overcast and cloudy weather, we decided to make the trip. The gray skies turned out to be a blessing in disguise as this quintessential NYC destination wasn't as crowded as it might normally be on a sunny day. After taking in a bit of the boardwalk (always entertaining...), we headed to Luna Park so the girls could ride a few rides and to the New York Aquarium (our first trip, believe it or not) to check out some fishies. We capped off the day with tickets to a Brooklyn Cyclones game (Star Wars night... Husband was more excited than he should have been) and my yearly injection of cotton candy. I mean, how do you not love Coney Island?
