Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Last weekend we went to Santa Cruz to check out their boardwalk. It was pretty impressive. Way more up to date than Jersey, but with the same ambiance. It was a lot of fun. I think that had to do a lot with our company too. We went with my good friend Anne and her family. Jack and her little boy, Andrew are the same age and got to go on a lot of the rides together. They had a great time. We walked around, ate some not so good food, then rode the rides. We went on a Sunday so it got pretty crowed but that meant good people watching. And oh boy were there some winners out that day! Hahaha! There was a carousel which was a definite hit. Jack named his horse "Pickles" and Andrew named his horse "Bubbles". The boys rode the boats, the cars, the flying dragons, a really lame train, the helicopters, and Jack went on the Free Fall. This was crazy to me because I thought for sure he was going to freak out and they would have to stop the ride. But sure enough...Tom was right (that's right, I'll give him that) and he LOVED it! Of course Jack wasn't tall enough to go on it himself which left Tom to be chaperon. (this didn't really make sense to me because they each had their own seats so how was Tom really helping Jack on the ride??? Hhmmm???) Anyway, This was great for picture opportunities because Tom was harnessed in and had no where to run. Mmwaaaa hahahhah!!! (that's my evil laugh)
