I remember when you took me there several summers ago. By your photographs, it looks like you had fun.</p>MomTue, 21 Aug 2007 12:34:36 -0000http://www.tonyaplank.com/swan_lake_samba_girl/2007/08/19/annual-trek-to-brooklyns-finest-stretch-of-sand/#comment-4549124<p>I LOVE the Ballet Russes movie. Those captivating elderly Russian women still had that flirtatious look in their eyes. What stars!</p>BarbaraMon, 20 Aug 2007 19:52:35 -0000http://www.tonyaplank.com/swan_lake_samba_girl/2007/08/19/annual-trek-to-brooklyns-finest-stretch-of-sand/#comment-4549123<p>Thanks Melinda, I'm glad you liked the pictures! I've been to Atlantic City once. I hardly remember it -- spent most of my time inside the casinos with my friend :) These east-coast boardwalks are really cool, such a trip, aren't they -- so different from anything in the west!</p>tonyaMon, 20 Aug 2007 16:13:01 -0000http://www.tonyaplank.com/swan_lake_samba_girl/2007/08/19/annual-trek-to-brooklyns-finest-stretch-of-sand/#comment-4549122<p>I love those pictures! I've never been to Brighton Beach, but I have been to Coney Island. What a fun, wacky place. I also went to college in Southern NJ, near Atlantic City, and it looks so much like that! I love all the food places and shops along the boardwalks. We don't really have those in California.</p><p>Sounds like a great day. :)</p>MelindaMon, 20 Aug 2007 12:07:46 -0000
