Goodbye Astroland!


Yesterday B and I went to Coney Island to bid Astroland goodbye forever. The Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel will be the only remnants of what was once the main draw to Coney Island, the Astroland Amusement Park. The lines for Nathan's were CRAZY! All we wanted were drinks, and the shortest wait was 25 minutes! I couldn't even take it, standing in the sun, almost 35 weeks pregnant, was making me dizzy so I left B in line while I attempted to find some sort of seat in the shade. All that for old fashioned lemonade! I guess everyone got the memo that Astroland was closing. I was kind of sad when I saw all the little boos on the kiddie rides, I would have liked to have brought our son to Astroland one day. We walked up and down the boardwalk. We sat down a lot too because I was still feeling a little dizzy from the craziness of the Nathan's line. We looked out on the water and talked about our future plans as a complete family with our little boo coming on the scene so soon. B wants us to go on a family vacation to the US Virgin Islands. I can just picture us at the beach with our little guy playing in the sand. I know he will love the sand and sea just like his mommy. :) I know me and the little guy will probably go to Martinique next summer for a couple of weeks so that should be great too. We still don't have a name for him... It's getting down to the wire! We need to figure things out!
