10/1/2010 - Heading on over to Santa Cruz for a day out to the Fungi Faire, it was a bit pricey to get in so we found an Antique Faire instead which happens every month. I found an awesome button lady there & if the kids were not so bored there was a lot of vintage stuff to go through! Still we were in the beach mode so we headed on over to Hula's Island Grill for burgers & tasty fries... hey it's OK to junk out every so often!
Whooooh!! Whoo!! When we bought our car - it had this strange sticker with the Mystery Spot on it. So we finally made a date to go & check it out. There is the GPS leading us to the the Spot & there is the entrance - all I can say is that it certainly is mysterious! Mysterious in the sense that people pay to go there & experience the feeling of wonkiness, actually I admit I did feel some motion sickness when we were wandering around the house of mystery but I don't know whether it was a trick of the light or just a bad breakfast!!
I am a convert to the Santa Cruz lifestyle. When I first went there I was not so impressed by the 80s & the boardwalk full of rickety rides - friends tell me that is half the fun! We occasionally go there on the weekend to get some beach air & experience the weird & wonderful events that happen there. This time we were wandering the pier to a show of Woodys - that's the cool looking beach car with panels in the side behind James & Ashwin. It was excellent to go & check them out just after we came back from Hawaii as a lot of the cars were inspired by the Tiki lifestyle of the day. Of course, while we were there we found a great fish & chip shop - see Holly enjoying the ketchup! The seals have a permanent spot where they hang out waiting for the fish to come by & Ash & James hang out with Big Boy.
