AMUSEMENT PARK LOVE

Kennywood Park Pittsburgh Swings

When I was 15 years old, I went to Kennywood Amusement Park and met a shy cute boy. We became very dear friends, lost touch in college, reconnected, fell in love, lived in a new city, moved back to our home city of Pittsburgh and got married. Our story is thirteen years in the making, and it all began staring awkwardly at our feet and sneaking glances at the carousel in the middle of an amusement park.

We went back to Kennywood this year and it was still full of the same wonder and excitement we experienced as kids. Who doesn't love roller coasters, amusement park junk food and good old nostalgia? I, for one, can never pass up a soft serve ice cream cone with sprinkles.

  5. That's such a great story! Kennywood is one of those places that retains the magic through the years, for sure. And I'm sure even more so for you. Also, the photos are lovely, especially the swings photo. :)
