February 2016 - Santa Cruz
This is a compilation of two trips down to the Santa Cruz area towards the end of 2015 and early 2016. The first visit was to Sunset Beach, the Santa Cruz boardwalk, and the Mystery Spot. The second was to the Roaring Camp railroad, which is a steam engine train ride through a redwood forest. It sounds a bit silly, but it was actually really enjoyable.
