I look forward to reading your blog and getting caught up!<br /><br />When we were kids, they didn't lock the doors to the roof. We would take the elevator to the top, walk a final flight of stairs, and enjoy the view. Coney Island has weekly fireworks from a tug boat in summer. My sister and I would often go to the roof to watch them. It was amazing. Now, however, they very smartly keep those doors locked.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-697039270424447922014-06-28T20:09:29.744+02:002014-06-28T20:09:29.744+02:00Cheapchick:

The three bedrooms and kitchen have windows on the south as well, with direct views of the ocean. I think it's why I was so excited to get the view we have here. Memories!

There was the Friday with the wonderful friends of the Duchess birthday lunch (for which San Geraldo and I treated); the Sunday extended family birthday lunch (for which the Dowager Duchess picked up the tab); the two dinners out with birthday dessert, candles, and song; the "real" birthday Wednesday playing in Coney Island and then dinner out with more birthday dessert, candles, and song.
