Memorial Day Weekend 2007: Coney Island
May 28th, 2007 Posted in Party and Bullshit
We’re standing on the beach with windblown hair and no make-up. Yep. My absolutely adorable little strawberry redhead friend, Mags, came to New York for a visit over Memorial Day weekend. Three days of party and bullshit topped off with my first ever visit to Coney Island. Ah, Coney Island. I liked it much better than I thought it would. World famous Nathan’s hot dogs, piña coladas, boys in tiny swimsuits, Mexican food, sun, fun, beach and sand. Then, repeat cycle for the remaining hours of the weekend. Sorry for the interruption. We’ll return to the regularly scheduled program here at the FBC tomorrow. Mental note … Must. Go. To. More. Beaches. This. Summer.

I hit Coney Island the last time I was in NYC. You should have checked out the side show freaks. Totally freaky!

MamaChristy: Aww, thanks!!! :-) And, yeah, I’m not sure what happened with the RWGS. We haven’t called each other in more than a week.
sid: I’d planned to come to Chicago next month. But now, with the Barbados thing, I’m not so sure if I can swing it.
HippieChyck: Summer is my *favorite* season!
Dragonslayer: Side show freaks??? How did I miss this. I gotta take another trip out there before the big overhaul.

What an idea! You look totally cute FBC.
I so love Coney Island, though it’s too far for me to get to regularly. I’ve heard Jones Beach in Long Island is as close to the tropics as you get in NY. So after I go buy me a new bathing suit that’s where I’m headed.

Thanks! And, yeah, I’ve heard Jones Beach is great. I’ve gotta check it out sometime before the end of the summer.

Wow you look really great and it looks like such gorgeous weather. I’m not kidding you, it’s been two YEARS since I last wore a bikini:(

Bexxie- Ah yes, one of the benefits of being Irish…pasty white skin. We must embrace it.
FBC: It was a great weekend, and I miss you guys already!!:)

Bexxie: Mags LOVED your comment! She actually referenced it when I spoke to her on the phone the other day.
Darwin: I can’t live without sun. The weather hasn’t always been this nice here in New York. Lately, it’s been GREAT. But, we had a long spat of cold Springtime weather just a few weeks ago.
ErrorBoy: Baby, I never stopped breathing. :)
Mags: Miss you, too!!!
