This past Sunday we took the ferry to Governors Island to visit Fete Paradiso, a celebration of vintage carnival rides and carousels. Fete Paradiso takes you back in time to late 19th century early 20th century France, and entrances you in a dreamlike experience reminiscent of a Federico Fellini film.
We met our good friends Renee, Leora, and baby Edin there and had a great time eating, dancing, and riding the beautifully restored vintage rides. Fete Paradiso ends this weekend so if you haven't had a chance to visit yet I highly recommend it! Below are some photos if you'd like to see!

| This ride had a host of interesting characters including this "micky-mouse" hybrid look-alike |
 |
| This guy was kind of creepy looking |
 |
| On the way to find the carnival we stopped and played in an old trench that was once used during the American Revolutionary War |
 |
 |
| This "people watching" also proved to provide an interesting cast of characters |
 |
| Long standing NYC French spot, Le Gamin, provided the delicious food |
 |
| We finished the day with a carousel ride equally fun for kids and adults alike |
