Just got back. Quick recap:
Did wind up going to Santa Cruz. Went *right* past the Boardwalk Bowl, too, which made me feel kind of like a jerk for telling Lilli I couldn't make it. I didn't want to impose on my buddies, though.
Apart from that shortcoming, I had a swell time. I finally got to take my new car over Highway 17, and it did very well. I got lost (twice) on the way back, which is consistent with any time I drive to Santa Cruz. I rode the Giant Dipper, and I ate a deep-fried Twinkie (tasty but overrated). I bought a pound of salt-water taffy, though I will be sharing that.
Tomorrow I go to a funeral, which is sad, but these things happen.

I don't understand this thing with deep frying twinkies. Disgusting!!!!
But OH NO I want twinkies now and I haven't eaten them in years.
Anyhoo, I am glad you had a great time. We had a fabulous day ourselves!
Funerals are sad. I'm sorry you have one to attend.
