A boardwalk birthday

This past Sunday Rob and I went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for Heather‘s birthday. In case you don’t know, the SC Beach Boardwalk is sort of a big deal ;) – I always see it featured on travel sites and in magazines. Our first stop was Denny’s for a big breakfast. And because it was the boardwalk, I got us curly straws to use all day! And candy necklaces. And bright-colored sunglasses. And bright nail polish.

After some pancake puppies and eggs, we caught the trolley to the boardwalk.

Then the fun started.

We ate… a lot. Whoever thought to deep fry an Oreo was pretty brilliant.

The rides and arcade games may have been the best part. We rode the log ride and Giant Dipper about 3 times each. Heather laughed HYSTERICALLY the whole time while Rob acted nonchalant, waiting for the camera flashes. My favorite was definitely the log ride!!

Here you go Rob:

 

Yes, Chether like wacky mirrors, cotton candy and air hockey:

The whole day made me want to go home and watch Big {one of my favorites!}. The smells, the sounds, the food, the ocean air… it really made for a memorable day.

Hope you all had a nice weekend!
