Santa Cruz & Capitola


We hit the road early this morning to celebrate my birthday in Santa Cruz at the boardwalk! It was a long car ride but iPods make everyone happy. To wake everyone up, we bought tickets for roller coasters and Dan took the girls on a crazy up-side-down ride. They loved it! Next I went with the girls on a wooden coaster that has been there for years and we screamed our heads off. It was great! I had my favorite junk-food treat, a corn dog. It just makes my day. The girls went on a log ride and I went with them on the first ride again and I think that may be the last up-side-down ride I want to go on. Yikes!


We drove to nearby Capitola and had a late lunch at Margaritaville, a popular restaurant by the sea. While we were so close, I had to make sure we were able to put our feet in the sand and ocean. The weather was perfect, not too hot, clear skies, and a breeze.

I love the perfume set the girls gave me from Paris! Dan got me beautiful flowers and more kitchen items I had been asking for. It was a great day! Enjoy the pictures!

Approval!

Waiting in line for my turn on this thing!


Here they go!

Splash!!!
