Santa Cruz California

On the second of August I went to Santa Cruz with my mom, Nana,and my cousins.We stayed in a cabin up in the mountains the whole time so it was cooler than the valley. The first day we went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It had rollercoasters, resturants, and an arcade. There was a rollercoaster that was just like The White rollercoaster at Lagoon. It was old and bumpy but really thrilling! After 7 hours at the boardwalk we went straight to the beach to cool off. Before the trip we bought a skim board so we could have fun at the beach. I actually did really well for it being really dangerous. The next day we went to The Monterey Bay Aquarium where we got to see fish, sharks, stingrays, and jellyfish. I thing it is awesome to see a lot of fish in the ocean. The next day we went on a train that went throught the Redwood's. It was awesome because we got to see the TALL trees. We also got to go to the Mystery Spot where there was a house that was tilting. We were standing at an angle of 45. There was a piece of wood that was diagonal and when the tour guide put a ball on it, it rolled upwards! Thats about it but it was a really fun trip.
