We have talked about taking the pups out to Coney Island for a family field trip. The weather was beautiful, so it was a perfect day for it…
… Except the guy who booked the car before us ran 30 minutes late.
Shio, in particular, was not happy with this — Whale Eye alert!!

When we finally got into the car, the two shibas immediately went to sleep…

After the 30-minute drive, we reached Coney Island. Shio immediately pulled us off the boardwalk and onto the beach.


Our final stop was, of course, Nathan’s! On our way there, we admired the color signage that Coney Island is famous for.

All in all, it was a great way to spend a Saturday with the pack.

Coney Island is one of those magical sounding places with lots of history (well, as much history as one gets in the urban US!) that I would love to visit someday. Glad I got a few glimpses with your pack!
I think the feeling that you get when you are at Coney Island is one of visiting a place that has long seen its glory days past… Pure nostalgia…
Love the photos! And Goo Goo! Are you her forever home?
When I was about five or six years old, my parents took us to Nathan’s and we ate our hotdogs outside on the sidewalk like everyone else. My parents and brother were happily eating, chatting with others when I suddenly burst into tears and cried and cried. My parents couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I asked them if we were poor and had to eat outside the restaurant! They took a photo of my little perturbed self standing on the sidewalk in front of Nathan’s.
Thanks!! I wish they had more dog-centric activities at Coney Island…!
