Coney Island Babymoon Afterall!

So after all that fussing I did yesterday morning about the weather and such, we DID end up going to Coney Island. I just thought that we could take a gamble on the weather and we did and we ended up not getting caught in any t-storms. It actually stormed while we were on the Q train on our way back home that evening. We had a BLAST! We will definitely be going back before the summer is over.




B and I in front of Brighton Beach with our beverages of choice(he had an extra large beer and mine was a medium lemonade, talk about supersized!) from world famous Nathan's.

B made me get some corn, I really wanted pizza!
B loves Nathan's hotdogs.
He loved his hot dog BUT complained that the actual weiner was too small, LOL!
B made me get a candy apple, I don't remember the last time that I had one! It was good!

Yeah the pics are kind of in reserve chronological order; I am still getting used to the set up of blogger.com. Overall it was a great day. We played games at the arcade, went on the "Spook O' Rama" ride, LOL! Hung out on the boardwalk, walked on the pier. I had some funnel cake/fried dough and was disappointed in the quality. The funnel cake was just sitting out and they threw it in the oven. I am used to seeing them pour the dough in the hot oil right in front of you and getting a freshly fried cake with the powder sugar on top. So I only at like a little bit of it and then threw it away. They now have the calorie counts on all the items at Nathan's so that totally discouraged me from getting my own order of fries when B was ordering his food. I wanted to eat some of his fries, but I was annoyed because he got chili cheese on them and I had to pick around the chili to get untainted ones since I don't eat meat. He said next time he will just order plain ones since he wasn't so into the chili cheese topping and didn't even finish his order. After the games, the ride and just walking around and chilling on the boardwalk, we headed to the New York Aquarium after we realized it was literally right there off of the boardwalk. We got tickets to the aquarium; there was also a 3D deep sea ride we could have gone on too but I figured I probably could not go on it anyway since I am prego. We had a lot of fun at the aquarium and it was a nice way to end the day at Coney Island. B was like a kid in a candy store! He loves animals and he loves science. I swear he missed his calling as a vet or researcher of some sort. He was just so excited to be there and just in awe of all the different aquatic creatures. He loved the sea otter we saw. He was however cursing the jellyfish, he was stung once while at the beach and now he just thinks of them as sneaky bastards, LOL! So after our nice relaxing tour of the aquarium, I was basically spent. I told him I was tired, it was about 5:45 at that point and we had been there since 12:45. He was a little sad because he wanted to stay. I reminded him that I had to work tomorrow and wanted to get back home in time to kind of unwind and go to bed in a timely fashion. At first he was like "okay..." but then we heard a loud thunder clap boom through the sky and we both were like "let's go!". The rain had held out all day for us at Coney Island so we weren't trying to push our luck. B got a vanilla soft serve cone to go and we were back on the Q train, heading back to our 'hood. When we got back we realized every restaurant was pretty much closed, so we did a little quick grocery shopping for dinner. I ended up snacking a little bit and being too tired to eat my Amy's Vegetable Pie. I couldn't even make it through Family Guy, I went to bed at about 9:20 or so. I am glad too because I woke up feeling fresh and was at the gym this morning earlier than I have been getting there lately. It may be the iron supplement that is helping with the energy I am feeling too. I really think it's funny how I am almost 6 months along and I am still just doing my thing. I always thought this far along in a pregnancy, you just want to lay up and eat all day. I am glad I don't feel that way because I am trying to stay fly! Tonight I want to go to the Aquatic Exercise class, I think the baby likes it. Oh and in parting, I think we have found a name for our little lion! More details to come...
