William's friend Olivia had a birthday celebration in Monterey featuring a visit to the aquarium.
On our way there, we stopped by the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk which I've always wanted to see but in 20 years of living here we've not gotten around to it before.
It's one of the last old-fashioned beach amusement parks in the US.
It features everything you'd expect a good old amusement park to have.
Games where you can win prizes. Here's William at the claw machine where he won a crab.
More wonderful prizes
Amusement park food
And of course rides.
The Little Dipper Roller Coaster is over 100 years old -- a very shakey old wood roller coaster that really throws you around.
The Boardwalk also features the last carrousel in the US that still has a "brass ring" for you to grab. If you get one of the brass rings you try to throw it into a big wooden clown's mouth as you go around.
