Since it was our first time in New York together.....

....we needed to take a day off and just go exploring for the sake of fun, and oh what fun we had!
How could anyone spend time in this city, thinking of fun and not go to Coney Island!

I had never been to an “amusement park” and really didn’t know what to expect so this was bound to be quite the adventure.

 We got up early and made our way to the wonderful underground trains they call subways. We had to catch just the right train, on just the right platform at just the right time. It all seemed awfully confusing for me, but father had done this sort of thing before, so I tried my best to learn from his example.

  The BMT Brighton Line train came roaring and rumbling up to the platform at what seemed tremendous speed, but managed to stop in just the right place for us to get on board.

 After a rather exciting ride, both above and below ground we exited into the bright sunlight of the train station, shared by both Coney Island and Brighton Beach......astoria

As we left the station I could already see the amazing ferris wheel that marked the skyline as Coney Island......astoria
