I remember the carousel at Crescent Park. That thing was FAST! Like a circular flat roller coaster.

... I only wish I didn't have to jump on a plane every time I wanted to treat the kids to some fun.

If only Rocky Point were still around !

Originally form Westerly and live in NH now but I remember Rocky Point. Great place! Now I bring my kids to Canobie Lake Park and think of Rocky Point

That's a great time right there......we watched the Pats in a playoff game at ESPN on the boardwalk. What a time that was too....roof was blowing off the place.

It was a fantastic game....and we were all yelling like crazy people. It's a good thing we didn't go the week of Superbowl....we would have all cried

I just went in April, and I'm jonesing for another trip! I'm going to call next week for our trip next August, but that's for NEXT AUGUST!

It's soooooooo far away. The past couple of years my DD and I have managed a trip about every six months or so, which was great. Nice long weekends in the FL sun! Next year's trip is a week long trip for DS's first trip, so I need all of my points.

I think the solution here is to buy more points.

Let's have some faith in this team. I was at the game last Sunday and the devastation went thru the stadium like the plague and those were my first thoughts too. We still have the rest of the season to play and we have a TERRIFIC team that can get the job done and send the Pats to Tampa in February.

As you can see from my ticker, I am not changing my plans for 2009!!!!!

I'm a property manager and one of my sites is directly across the street from the playground at Baldwin. We'll be doing a lot of remodeling there starting early '09.

It's nice to see others from Pawtucket. I figured there were other RI'ers on this site so as we say in Rhode Island, "Hawaya?".

BTW, my wife is a substitute teacher in Smithfield (hopefully full-time soon).

So sad...My best friend passed away two weeks ago. Sure he began my life as my father, in my teen years he became my dad, and when I started having kids of my own he became my best friend. I am so thankful to DVC. The past few years we have spent THE best vacations ever together. Mostly 11 of us. Thankfully mom has indicated she still wants to vacation with us, but it will be hard going forward, but I know he wants us to go on. He told me so many times in the past few weeks. I have many things to be thankful for. I did make it a mission to see him the day before he slipped into a coma, and I was with him holding his hand along with my sister and mom when he left us. He had lost the use of his legs the last two months, and that bothered him very much. The night after he passed he came to me in a dream to show me his legs were fine now, and he had been all around WDW, and he assured me everything was ok now. Anyhow, I am sorry to add some of my sorrow to this happy place, but dad was a great Rhode Islander, and I wanted to pay tribute to him here....

 

[Monte Cristo]

Sorry to hear about that Rick. Lots of memories for you to cherish.

 

[peanmunch]

Rick...I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad that you, your sister and your mom were there to help your dad feel peace and love around him. Sending prayers to you and your family
