Wow, its been 10 years already.  How time flies!!   I still remember that day as if it was yesterday.   As much as I love to talk,  this is one event I don’t talk much ab on.  I always wonder what would have happened to me if I came out a few minutes late out from the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel?

Here’s something I wrote three years ago.   I wish I still have the one I wrote 9 years ago.  Oh well.  This one will do….

7 years ago around this time, I was driving a friend out into the city to her job because she was late getting up and needed to be in the office by 8:30am for an important meeting. At that time, I just got laid off from Clear Channel Communication, so my schedule are FREE. I decide what the hell, I got nothing better to do anyway. I normally do not take the Tunnel out into the city, because of the $3.50 fee.  Yes I am cheap.  HAHA!  But because we were running late, she told me to take it and will pay me back, plus the drop off spot was World Trade Center Path Station. So it makes sense to.

I remember traffic were pretty back up. and once we came out of the tunnel I happened to look up and said “oh world trade center is on fire”. I didn’t think much of it at that time… but once the 2nd plane hit the second tower, I knew at that point New York was under attack. I am not going to get into details anymore, but I will always remember what happen that day. Many of my friends do work in those buildings or in that area. Just so happen that Tuesday, they all decided either to take the day off, or they were running late into work.

Here’s some photos of that morning from my camera.

I’ve never been to Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  So this past Saturday, the closest thing would be to go to the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning.    It was such an amazing event getting to see so many awesome balloons flying up in the sky.  Here’s some images to share.   Good Time!!!

To conclude our trip.  It was just awesome.  Had a wonderful time.  Watching Dylan enjoying himself made the trip 100 times better.  Yes it was HOT.  Yes it was SUPER humid.  But you know what, it’s Florida and it’s July.  It supposed to be HOT.    If you haven’t yet, check out my previous post about my Disney Trip.

Here are few more images from the Disney Trip.

 I can not remember the last time I went to Coney Island beach or even the amusement park in Brooklyn.  During my 11 years living in Chinatown, I used to go to Coney Island all the time for the beach, for the Hotdogs, ice-skating during the winter season and of course the rides, like the wonder wheel and the Cyclone.  Those were the good old days.  Then when I moved to Brooklyn, everything seem to just stop.  Maybe because I was in college.. hahaha!   Now that I am here in Brooklyn for 23 plus years and still counting.  I cant really remember the last time I went to Coney Island.  

Two weeks ago, my wife Amanda suggested that we head to Coney Island.   Wow!   what good time I had. Thanks for the awesome idea.   As much as I dislike the  sand.  I had a wonderful time.  So much has changed since.   But the tradition of Coney Island is still the same.   Here are some pics I took with my iphone4.   Good Time for sure.  I can’t wait to go back again.

hmmm, engagement session at Coney Island sounds like a fun idea….

Attention Bride/Groom:   I would LOVE to do an engagement session at Coney Island with you.   Contact me for details.
