After the Midnight run and fireworks, we got home on New Years Eve at 2 am. I can’t even remember the last time I was up that late!!! It felt like it was 6 am (getting old over here!) and we were woken up by the sunniest possible day. Cold. It was about 30s, with feels like in the 20s. And yes, there’s people getting ready to take a dip in the ocean in Coney Island. gosh. I would never say never, but I really want to say it. Please let me!
Man, it was crowded!! The plunge was at 1 and we got there at around 12:30, it was a pretty sunny day but SO SO COLD with the wind by the ocean. Keep that in mind when you look at this pictures!!
I had never seen Coney Island so crowded. Not even in the middle of Summer. Pure Insanity.
Bears EVERYWHERE.
And Fun people. Or Crazy People. Or, DRUNK people.
It was ridiculously awesome.
Soon, the first wave goes. Some people are in costumes, some in swimming gear, some in…
They start coming out. A few of them are screaming for their towels, friends, and other things.
There were SOOO many kids. SO many!
We stayed for a few more waves. Before we got cold. It was cold. Did I mention that before?
We spotted a few friends. I had no idea some of my friends are crazy. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT?
And then we just headed indoors to do warm things and look at warm stuff and think of warm stuff. Seriously, that’s insane. Which means, we might do it next year.
Looks like a blast!!! Great pictures!! Thanks for sharing!! Everyone looks SO happy!! XOXO
