the lost boys was filmed here...

Our second adventure this past week was the santa cruz boardwalk...it is celebrating it 100th anniversary, and part of the celebration is hosting free concerts like for example- mary wilson of supremes fame, tiffany of 1980's fame..unforts that is only on the weekend and we couldn't make them, but on monday and tuesday, pretty much everything is 75 cents ( i guess the same price that it was in 1907) so hot dogs, pepsi beverages, cotton candy, and the rides were all a cool 75 cents.

Not to mention, the lost boys was filmed there :)


Brandy, Anthony, Tony and I all made out way down there-with the full disclaimer that i do not like the feeling of falling, so i would not be going on any roller coasters.


and don't think for one hot second that i didnt' hear about it often in snide jabs while passing the kiddie rides and mentions of grandma sitting on the side taking photos. but i am totally cool with that :)


We had a blast!!! here are my 5 favorite parts of the night...in no particular order


1. Brandy picks a spinnng ride, the tornado i believe-which left all of us sick... good thing we didn't get into the snacks until after that one.


2. this sign in the bathroom






3. BUMPERCARS!!!




4 . a ridiculous amount of carnival snack foods-funnel cake ( it was the first time that tony and i ever had it,i thought it was the same as an elephant, boy was i wrong), hot dogs ( myself excluded) soft serve dipped in chocolate, and soft pretzels


5. on the way to the car a screaming child whose mother stopped near the 4 of us long enough to say " 27/7 joy"



needless to say after all those snacks, we got home and went our separate ways to fall gently into a nasty carb coma!
