Starfish Stampede
Wet slush started pelting the boardwalk planks, so I steered my tour straight under the sheltered arcade overhang! Resting right by the entrance was a coin-operated kiddie ride shaped like a bright yellow submarine. That's top-tier vacation transport! I grabbed the plush pink starfish by its squishy leg, hopped onto the ribbed metal footstep, and hauled us both into the molded plastic seat. I grabbed the little black steering wheel with both blue hands and gave it a furious spin left and right. Real tourists don't let a soggy flurry cancel their deep-sea voyage!
