Spring Break- Part 3

After our time in Monterey, we headed on back toward Santa Cruz. We stopped in Capitola along the way. There was a mall there and we did a little shopping. After a good amount of time browsing through the stores, we got back on the road and went back to Santa Cruz.


Santa Cruz has a board walk with rides and and an arcade. Because it was the off tourist season and during the week, the rides were all shut down but the arcade was open.


So, we decided to live it up like big kids in the arcade. Above, Dwayne is punching some game that measures your punch strength. It was kind of neat. After we were done playing our games we counted our tickets in the ticket counter machine and gave our ticket total to some little boy that was in the arcade with his parents. He was pretty happy!

This is part of the boardwalk with the entrance to the arcades.

It runs along the beach. There were a lot of people on this beach!

Also inside the arcade building was a mini-golf course.


It was actually pretty impressive. It was pirate themed and was spread through out two different stories and in and out of a black light tunneled room.

And here I am driving the ship. We had a lot of fun being big kids. Even though the roller coaster rides weren't open we were still able to have a lot of fun our last night on vacation.


On our last morning in Santa Cruz we headed downstairs to our hotel-included breakfast before we hit the road.


The choices were delicious and it was nice having a meal before we driving back.


Dwayne is getting our car all ready for the drive back home.


Packed up and ready to go we take a picture before we get ready to head home. It was so nice to get away. We already have our next weekend get away picked out and now we just have to find the weekend to do it! It involves caves, a zip line and a little bit of hiking! We can't wait.....
