No visit to Santa Cruz is complete without a trip to the boardwalk. If the pirate ship doesn't make you hurl, I don't know what will.

Monica makes the big transition to roller coaster riding. She's definitely hooked now.

Meanwhile Gabe and Kyle stick to the tamer rides. I always loved those little boats when I was little.

Charlotte and Lynda appear to be enjoying themselves.

Gabe and Kyle make their own big leap to the scary rides.

Everyone checks out the new glider ride. This one looks like fun.

The log ride is one of my favorites.

A few last photos before heading over to the beach.

It's looking really calm, and Gabe digs up a bunch of sand crabs to play with.
