Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom Trip

On Saturday, July 26^th the South East Consortium visited Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, PA. on a day trip.  We spent the day riding rides such as: Steel Force, Scrambler, Sea Dragon, Road Rally and ate lunch at Subway in the park.  Then we hung out in the Wildwater River,  Wave Pool and road the Speed Slides at the water park.  South East had a blast! Check out the fun pictures!!!

City Of Water Day Festival

For our first trip of the summer South East Consortium took a group to City of Water Day on Governors Island. It was a beautiful day outside and the site from the island looking back on Manhattan was truly breathtaking! 

We took a couple forms of transportation to get where we were going (Metro North, shuttle, subway, ferry) and every step along the way was an adventure. On the train into Grand Central Terminal we got to spend some time with one of the coolest conductors we ever met! He told us stories, made us laugh and spend some quality time with our participants.

Once we got onto the island we checked out the sites and eventually found a great spot on the island to have lunch. After lunch some of us went out and got to explore the island while others relaxed on the lawn to enjoy the live music and all the site and sounds of the festival.

The process of getting home was even more of an adventure then getting to the island. Our subway was canceled and we had to regroup and walk a couple blocks to catch another subway. We all took it in stride and made the best of the situation, when your commuting in NYC you have to learn to go with the flow!
