Down by the Boardwalk

Today, we took Uncle Jody to Santa Cruz. It was another gorgeous day - sunny & warm. I got to cruise the boardwalk & pier in my Snap-n-Go wheels. I think Daddy was all pooped out from carrying me everywhere yesterday. There were people from all walks of life out enjoying the beach and sunshine. There were people in parkas and others in bikinis. There were plenty of new sights and sounds for me to enjoy. I really liked the sea gulls and other birds flying overhead. Their squawking made me laugh as did the noises the sea lions and seals made in the water. At the end of the pier, Mommy took me into the ice cream & candy parlor. I really liked that store - it made me smile & giggle. It must have been all the sweet aromas and colorful toys. The 'Rents & Uncle Jody bought ice cream & shakes. Mommy let me have a taste of her Butter Pecan ice cream. It was YUMMY!!! The coldness tickled my lips, and the sweetness was divine. I can't wait till I get to have some of my own. Afterwards, we headed up the coast. We stopped at Duarte's Tavern in Pescadero where the 'Rents ate their reknowned cream of artichoke soup and some seafood. I tossed back a bottle of formula and sung along to the tunes on the jukebox. After a quick diaper change in the car (Dad's getting really good at this.), we headed home. Uncle Jody & I slept the whole way back. It was another good day.
