Coney Island

One of my favorite places to go in the summer is Coney Island. It's not the nicest, fanciest or cleanest beach in the world but it has a typical old-school, New York vibe and I love it! The Cyclone, Wonder Wheel, Nathan's, Shoot the Freak...what's not to love? I remember the first time I was there, I begged my mom to ride the Cyclone with me and she did because I told her it would be fun and that she never does anything with me...ha! My mom is not a ride person but she did it for her sweet child ;) The Cyclone is one of the most rickety and oldest, headache-causing roller coasters out there and when my mom finally got off it she vowed to never, ever go on another ride with me again.
