Ferris Wheel

I had completely forgotten how much I love the Ferris Wheel at The Wharf. Crazy as it sounds, I haven’t been on it in a couple years. Guess I thought I’d outgrown it! Which is completely crazy—how can you outgrow the tallest Ferris wheel in the southeast?

A group of us decided to take a ride on it the other night, and I’m glad we did: there’s nothing quite like the view you get at the top of this thing, looking far out above the trees and across the Gulf. And night is the best time to ride, when it’s all lit up. Amazing.

I have a renewed appreciation for the sight of this landmark now. Don’t think I’ll wait so long before my next visit!
