Santa Cruz & Sunnyvale

We went to Santa Cruz and Sunnyvale for the weekend to visit with Bay Photo and Grannie, Aunt Rae and Kendall.  It was a great weekend. Chris had never been to the boardwalk and man o man was it packed..  too packed..   Alex started the trip by puking EVERYWHERE the moment we pulled into the hotel parking lot.. The of course had no laundry service (dry cleaning only)  so Chris had to find a laundry mat and do it himself. All the while our friend from Bay was  waiting on us.. Sorry Sarah!   We still managed to have a fun dinner with her at Woodstock Pizza in Santa Cruz.  

We spent the next morning at Roaring Camp Railroad where my parents took me and my sister a million years ago. I think I was about 6-8 years old. It was fun. We road an old steam engine up into the redwood forest, which Alex loved.  When we got to the top, some actors staged a robbery that scared Alex to death.. Too funny.. Worth the ticket price for me & Chris.  :) 

Alex is giving his train ticket to the scary man. 

 This is the funniest picture in the whole world and quiet possibly our Xmas card for next year.. Believe it or not, but I am hold Lauren to the side and trying to still stay in the hole, hence why she is crying.. Too funny..  
Too bad Alex was looking.. Usually people don't know how to zoom in.. Unfortunately this man did. So he got us but cut out the train behind us..  Oh, well.
