Thank you, Graham!
We're having a really nice visit. Thank you, John! Lots of interesting discussions going on here, cruising being one of the topics!
My childhood was spent going to several amusement parks, but most times were spent at Steeplechase Park in Coney Island. Steeplechase was a safe, enclosed amusement park. There were 8 of us kids;. 4 of us girls wore the same color tops, my 4 brothers also wore shirts that our parents could easily find us. Since the park was all enclosed, my parents would pay our entrance fee, give us our ride tickets and tell us where and what time to meet them for lunch. I have so many happy memories of our Summers spent there. Most memorable was of my parents on the parachute ride.
