Grant and I went to the Boardwalk today. We rode many of the rides...the whole feel of the place is very fun and amusement park like....clean and family friendly...
It was Spring Break for sure...the boardwalk was packed and it got pretty warm...mid to high 70's. Poor Grant got a sun burn on his cheeks and nose!
We had lots of yummy carny food...a gyro, garlic fries, a deep fried twinkie, a shaved ice, a pretzel with cheese, and a hot fudge sundae...yeah, thats my kinda diet!
We also played a round of miniature golf, during which Grant was in a very interesting mood...(did you know that as long as the ball is rolling, and doesn't stop moving, you can hit it as many times as you want with your club or your foot and it still counts as one stroke on the score card? yeah, neither did I...
We also bowled two games...Grant got 134 and then 97...I got 100 and then 102.
Oh! I forgot! They also had fascination...that game we played in Reno, where you roll the red ball up and try to get five in a row based on the circles it rolls in too...oh...so addicting!
For dinner, we went to the Ideal Bar and Grill at the beginning of the pier. They had a live maine lobster for $11.95. SO I got Lobster and Grant got Mahi Mahi (About 30 minutes after I ordered they ran out of Lobster...I probably got the last one!) The food was good, but the service was lousy...She got a low tip...and we're usually really good tippers. She never checked on us or refilled the water...the kitchen server brought out the food and she ddin't come back to see if we needed anything for like 30 minutes. It was bad.
Anyway, after dinner, we walked to the end of the pier. The pier is huge...It has a two lane road and parking, and lots of shops and restaurants. We were beat..we booked it back to the hotel, and opted not to go out to the grocery store to purchase soma aloe for Grant's face.
Tomorrow, we leave Santa Cruz and head up to San Francisco...what a great trip so far!!!
