Our Fifth Anniversary

Top: Coney Island 2010
Bottom: Coney Island 2005


Nicole and I celebrated five years of living in the big ol' New York City this past week. We've had a lot of good times, and to celebrate it all we thought we should do something very New York. When talking with Nicole, we determined that one of the first things we did when we were bumming around was to go to Coney Island. So we thought it would be perfect to go there and spend a fun afternoon among the crowds. Mom just arrived to New York City on Friday, so she joined, as well as Sammi (another New York City transplant) and Frito. Of course Felipe was there too!! Although he came separately from us, he also arrived to the city just one month prior to Nicole and I.


The Beach was super crowded, as was expected - it was a beautiful day!








One of the first things we did was go on the Wonder Wheel (yes - I know the pics are taken at night and we first arrived in the early afternoon). Mom, Nicole, Sammi and I all got our tickets and waited in line to get one of the cars that rocks back and forth. Felipe opted to stay behind and watch from the safety of the ground, and look after Frito (Nicole's guide dog in training).

After that we all went over to MCU Park and watched the Brooklyn Cyclones vs. Connecticut Tigers baseball game - a perfect night to watch a ballgame next to the ocean!





The Cyclones ended up winning 3-2 in the bottom of the 11th inning, they really gave us all a great time!


After the game they did fireworks, we watched from the boardwalk. It was such an enjoyable afternoon/evening. A perfect way to celebrate. Happy fifth anniversary to Nicole and Felipe!
