Santa Cruz Board Walk

by Self Sagacity at 12:06 AM
The photos are from Santa Cruz, California Beach Board Walk. The weekends are always packed and parking is still a problem. Even with many people using parking meters along the road, the parking lot has no problem filing up.

There were times when we came on a wrong day, and were out of luck for parking. The walk can be brutal in sandals and a pair of sneakers would be incredibly treasured.

Once parking is no longer an issue and you made it to the Boardwalk. The place has an amazing way of wiping out all your pains. The Boardwalk amusement park has added some new rides this year, which made it more interesting for adults as well. Besides the rides and the beach, a lot of people come to dine in the fine seafood restaurants along the beach.

F is for Fun, Frightening, Family, Friends, Fame, Fortune, Favorite and Forgettable.

    It does look like fun, though I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy trying to find somewhere to park.

    I'll be staying overnight Saturday in Santa Cruz at the Hampton Inn. My dear friend, Sony Holland, will be performing at the Kuumwa Jazz Club so I can't miss the chance to see her twice! She'll perform Sunday in San Francisco! Am coming down with two friends! We're having lunch at Vasili's on Saturday and will hit the bars after Sony's gig Saturday night. Hopefully, it isn't going to snow as has been predicted!!!

    Looks like fun. If I'm ever in Santa Cruz I'll have to make sure to visit... early to get a parking spot.
