Coney Island and Balloon Peace Signs

The subway system for the most part is back to normal after a day that was best described as "Chaotic" by one of the dailies handed out to commuters. We arrived at GRBC around 9 am and played games with the kids until 10:00 AM when we left for Coney Island. We got to Coney Island with no problem. Some of the group ate at the original Nathan's hot dog shop and others ate at some other local restaurants











Our wristbands became active after 12:00 and we entered Astroland which is the home of the world famous Cyclone roller coaster. Most of us got a chance to ride the coaster if we wanted to do so. We also road the log flume, played carnival games and spent lots of time in the kiddie ride section. One word of advice, watch out for the bumper car ride. They are much faster than you have in VA.










Here is the post-Coney Island photo.








Here is a photo of the team after our final day at GRBC in front of the church. Most of team headed back to Manhattan while I stayed to make a few balloons for those who remained. It was around 5:00 o'clock.





Here is a photo of the peace sign balloon sculpture that Dave made for the camp before he left for today.







Tonight we had dinner in Little Italy at a place called Amici II. The food was really good. We then spent some time walking thorough Little Italy and visiting part of Chinatown. Tomorrow is a day of fun seeing the city. Check the site late in the day for photos and updates.
