Last week, I had a text from Meghan, telling me she needs an adventure, had two days off, and was thinking of either Brodie, CA (a ghost town), or Santa Cruz. I voted for Santa Cruz and we made plans for Tuesday.
So yesterday, we started off at 7:00 in the morning with her cool daughter, The Roz (age: almost 11) for a day of fun.
We arrived in Santa Cruz by 10:00 and promptly found a coffee shop to fortify ourselves with caffeine and something to eat (after a quick trip to a shop to buy Roz a Santa Cruz hoodie).
 |
| Typical...start off the day with a sign pic. |
 |
| Gee, wonder why I took a pic of a random street sign. |
 |
| NorCal pride, people. NorCal pride... |
 |
Roz is her mother's daughter. : )
(This is a good thing.) |
 |
| They made my hot chocolate fancy. |
We wandered around downtown Santa Cruz for a while. I snapped a bunch of pictures of signs and buildings and other random stuff.
 |
We wandered over to check this out. It's
in memory of victims of war. |
 |
Finally the morning fog started lifting,
revealing a glorious day. |
 |
| Taken because of the DUCKS!! |
One of the shops we poked around in had an abundance of duck (and other) stuff. I was having a ball. I can't imagine who buys it all (what
does one do with underpants for squirrels?) but it's fun to look at.
 |
"One thing you need to know, Cali. Not all
duckies are good." |
 |
Even Meghan had to agree that with two cats,
I don't qualify. |
 |
If the mustache bandages had not been sold out, I would have
bought some. |
Downtown Santa Cruz had plenty of diversions, but we had plans. We made our way to the Santa Cruz mission...and that will be my next post.
