Coney Island in April

My friend Ben was in town this weekend.  I told him some of the things I hadn't done yet in NYC and Coney Island was decided to be our morning adventure.  I think it was the best weekend ever to visit Coney Island.

The sky was a gorgeous blue and it wasn't very crowded.  The rides were also open for the first time in 2012. 

We watched the cycle of life - seagull vs. crab.  Crab lost.

If it's there, it needs to be played.  The funnest part was the game of rock, paper, scissors to decide who went first.  And realizing that I play my hand on the count of three and not the count of four.  He won and everyone knows you win tic-tac-toe if you make the first move.
