I took Audrey to the park the other day, and there was a antique carousel that Audrey rode on. It made me appreciate the area that I grew up in...Binghamton,NY.
Binghamton, NY is the unofficial carousel capital of America. There are six antique carousels located throughout the Binghamton area. George F. Johnson was a wealthy entrepreneur in Endicott, NY. As a child, he was so poor that he could never afford the nickel that the carousel in his town cost to ride. After Johnson made his fortune, he bought six carousels for the Tri-City area so that no child would be deprived of riding on a carousel. To this day, all six carousels are still in operation, and they are all free to ride.

I noticed you have her hair in pigtails this time. =D No one should have mistaken her for a boy this time.
How fun! The double decker carousel at Superstition is now like 3 bucks to ride. It is ridiculous!
