In other words, this was the close of our summer at Playland. If we wanted to get the last of our prizes, we had to go on the last available weekday - Friday, the 3rd. BUT...
Greenwich's islands and cruise to nowhere also close soon. I hadn't yet gotten to Greenwich Town Hall to buy tickets for Great Captain's Island or Island Beach. We never got to the cruise either. Big Boy Boot Camp has kept us tied to the house pretty tightly. No room for adventures. If we were to get to Great Captain's Island at all this summer, I had to get to Town Hall that Friday. So, we did both. I set out early on Friday morning with Alex to Greenwich Town Hall. We stopped for lunch in Greenwich and then set out for Playland. Unfortunately, this meant that by the time we set out for Playland, Alex was ready for a nap.
Maybe it was time for a mellow Summer Wrap-Up. We saw both shows, 'Wonder' and 'High Voltage'. Alex loves both of them and even said 'Bye Jason!' to the star juggler/illusionist of 'High Voltage'. We strolled around the arcades, perusing the prizes we could get. We won more tickets to round off our wins. Alex wished to buy a souvenir ship like Mommy has. We both wished to have the last of Playland summer treats while we could.
Alex tried cotton candy for the first time ever. He didn't eat any, but he sure did love having it. He did eat the popcorn, though. He loved that part. We walked along the sea walk and the boardwalk. We danced to the show music and to the Kiddyland DJ. We played the duck game for the last time.
It was a great way to close the summer season.
"Bye Playland!" Alex called as we left. "See you soon!"
And we will, for Halloween. Thanks for a summer I won't soon forget, Playland.
Friday, September 3
