We left San Francisco this morning after a lie in and set off down the California Coast. I got the front seat again which meant i could get some great photos out of the window and played DJ for the day playing some of my music 🙂
We stopped at Santa Cruz Boardwalk first which is basically a mini theme park on the beach. There were loads of rides and food stands as well as souvenir shops and random games. We did manage to go on one ride in the time we had … sadly the girls chose the Haunted House which is probably my worst nightmare. Five of us went in all holding on to each other screaming at our own reflections and walking in a line following Jordan who was clearly the bravest. It was actually quite fun thought and totally woke us up!!
After lunch and some food shopping we stopped in Monterey for a bit to walk around the area and find a moose hat for Jordan who had won the bet to see one first and to check out some of the weird shops they had there. We saw the first ever Bubba Gumps and even a random person dressed as a shrimp haha.
Once we got to our campsite we all headed down the beach to take advantage of the amazing lighting and play some baseball. It was pretty windy but we had a good time running around chasing each other with seaweed. Once we finished dinner we also realised that the sun was about to set and ran back down to take some great photos of the sun disappearing. Again a fire and some s’mores were had and we chilled out before bed which was in a patch of rather long grass making it feel like we were on a mattress!!
