Coney Island

On Saturday, April 19th, I again convinced Bryant to do something he didn't really want to do.

(He's a good man.)

This time the item on my agenda was CONEY ISLAND!!!

We don't exactly live close to Coney Island. Well, we DO in Utah terms of distance (15 miles), but that can be a LIFETIME on the subway. And by LIFETIME I mean a little over an hour each way.

But we did survive the commute and finally arrived!

This is the location of the 

"July Fourth International Hot Dog Eating Championship."

(It's as gross as it sounds.)

Here are some stats for you:

(I think Joey Chestnut and Sonya Thomas are going to die of a heart attack.)

We arrived at the boardwalk:

Inside the Brooklyn Beach Shop Bryant was able to get some Saltwater Taffy 

(also known as 'old people candy'.)

and I bought myself this creepy looking glass:

We were walking out on the beach when this pudgy, adorable little kid came shuffling up to us and said, "Hi!...The water is FRRRREEEEEZING. Bye!"

And off he went!

(Below you can see him in the distance behind Bry)

My number one goal was to ride The Cyclone Roller Coaster

(I can now say I've ridden the same ride as Beyonce.)

 After we rode The Cyclone we opted for some delicious food:

 I can't get over how creepy that guys face is.

 Before we ventured back home I insisted that we get a hot dog from Nathan's.

(Tradition, right?)

 I was obviously more excited about the food than Bryant was.

 Coney Island was a BLAST and I'm super excited to go back there when Bryant's parents come out at the end of the month!
