On Wednesdsay June 30th, it was a very hot humid day. We decided to go to the Aquarium in Coney Island. I could visit that place endless times and never get bored because I love fish. We saw tons of fish from BIG to small to many different colors. Even spotted Nemo and Dory. I was amazed by how big lobsters look.
After the Aquarium, Abby and I went to Lenny and John's Italian Resturant for lunch. I raved to her the day before how delicious their food is. She thought the food was good. I got baked ziti. We shared garlic knots and she got a roll. While we were catching up, since we only see each other maybe every three to six months cause she's so busy saving people's lives as a Paramedic.
I brought up that her sister aka my best friend was coming sometime in July to visit. I didn't know when though. I was just praying it wasn't when I was in the Poconos. It turned out that Margy told her sister that she was coming Friday July 2nd. When I tell you I was excited, dang straight I was. But now that she's in the United States Army, we don't get to see each other often.
My mom and I had a great 4th of July. We made BBQ pulled pork and roasted potatoes for dinner. Then we watched the Price Is Right. Once it got dark, we sat on the deck and watched the neighbors shoot off fireworks.
There was this one cop car that stopped on our block. We thought they were coming here to crush our 4th of July. But it turned out, both of them saw a firework on fire. The first Cop used the fire extinguisher. He then playfully sprayed his buddy. They were laughing os hard cause apparently the cop accidentally sprayed himself. It was nice to hear cops having a good time. 😂😂😂😂😂.
On Monday July 5th, Margy texted me that she was here. I was putting on my clogs. She walked up to my house and banged on my door.
I took her out for lunch at Knapp Street Pizza. We each got two slices and a water and chatted. I gave her a postcard and a best friend key chain with a picture of a fist bump on it. It's part of our friendship traditions. She loved it.
Then I told her I had to get my steps in to burn off the pizza. We did two laps around Marine Park. We had our goofy converstions. I joked with her a couple of times while we walked and we both laughed.
After the park, we to the local beach in my neighborhood. Margy saw a horse shoe crab. It took me a second to find it. Then we took a selfie.
We went back to my house. My parents wanted to catch up with her. Then I walked Margy to her car and we hugged and said goodbye.
I had such a great time. I can't wait until the next time we see each other.
