Not great photos, but they’re my kiddos.

I know it’s a lot of pix of the same thing, but I just love the looks of ecstatic joy on their faces.

I went on this once, but I found the ride to be very uncomfortable.

Fun at Santa Cruz

I think this picture is so cute with Chunguita peaking out.

That little bugger Pulguito (am I being redundant?) did his best to squeeze me during this ride.

Miramar Restaurant

Marini’s

After the fun filled day at the beach and boardwalk, we toddled on down to the pier. DH loves it there. Because we had Granny with us, we decided to park on the pier. We parked right outside this restaurant. DH, Chunguita, and I have eaten here before. We decided to eat there again, and I had the pasta special. It was so good! It was a while ago, but I still remember how good the mango and avacado was in the white sauce.

Pulguito was especially wiggly while waiting for Granny and DH to finish their dinners, so I took the kids off to Marini’s which is just down the pier from Miramar. Marini’s displays gummy candy in their display case, so the kids spent some time picking out several different gummy things to eat. I can’t abide gummy, but I do like a good caramel apple, and Marini’s has those.

We spent the rest of the evening wandering around on the pier. It was a lovely evening, warm with no wind.

We went back to the boardwalk parking lot to pick up the truck, and I took off. There was a huge backup on 880 (isn’t there always?), so I cut across to 680. We beat the train by seconds. DH and Pulguito got stuck behind the train and had to wait there for 20 minutes.
