There are few things as simply, happily sweet, as a ride upon a carousel. They're like the OG amusement ride, and not ONCE (after puberty stopped curb stomping me) have I ever looked at one and gone, "boring!"
The music is fun and classic, so many places have different themes for them- like the one in the pic was at a large outlet mall and was themed to the state of Florida. It's just so wonderful to sit and take a spin or ten on a comfy, easy, merry little carousel!! I think in 2025 I'll make it a goal to ride 10 different carousels, fuck I love them.
