Thank God for a good day in Santa Cruz and San Jose March 3, 2020

Started the day with breakfast and then on to Santa Cruz!

 


Good stuff. Now a 30-40 min drive to Santa Cruz! Yay!

Natural Bridges state beach

 

 


 




Funny thing about his area is that its free to park for a couple minutes and supposedly you have to pay after but there is lots of side parking a few yards away from the parking lot. Just do a little trekking. After this I made my way from the Arches to the boardwalk area.





Going to the boardwalk and wharf.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 






There was various areas like Pyramid beach, Mitchell cove, Steamer lane, Surfing sculpture, West cliff, and etc... as you drive your way from Natural Bridges to the Boardwalk. Lots of surfers as you enter West Cliff and steamer lane area. Advice here is that you can park by some residential areas for free providing you can find side parking. As you get closer to the boardwalk its all pay parking from here. So trekking is involved if you want to save some money.

Boardwalk and Wharf

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 

The boardwalk is only open on weekends though it was nice to survey around. Some eateries and gift shops were open on the wharf but I didn't eat or buy anything. You can see Sea Lions towards the end of the walk.

Back to San Jose

 


 


 


Close to where Delma's market was is the Monopoly in the park playground. Construction was everywhere so maybe not a whole lot of people were around. Nice area. 









Finale and dinner

 


The car that took me places

This was it. I decided to just eat at In-and-Out for dinner and prior to that I went to Grand Century Mall where mostly Asian people frequent; its a Asian shopping mall to be exact with mainly Vietnamese eateries. Anyhow, next time!

Columbia Falls, Montana Food is from Nite Owl Restaurant.  Sept 1 *This day trip is all done by reserving the Going to the Sun road pass. Without it, you can't do any of these activities from 600AM to 4PM. Good luck in getting one. It gets you all amped up trying to get one. Remember, that you need this pass along with the annual national park pass/or $35 pass that is good for 7 days. Add that to the top of your anxiety.* Logan Pass Hike (very popular area. I came at 800AM and got the last parking stall.) Mountain Goats or Rams sighted along with Chipmunks. St Mary Falls and Victoria Falls Hike (Moose sighted) Sun Point Nature Trail Hike Wild Goose Island Lookout Norm's News again (Kalispell) and Abruzzo Italian Kitchen (Whitefish Montana) Nigh Nigh.

Thank God for a good day in Waikiki Oct 5, 2020

  What a better way to start your two week vacation? Yep, a staycation thanks to your government locking you up even denying you the chance to do inter-island traveling. Thank the Lord for my profession for I was able to secure a free night at the Outrigger; there was a promotion for health care professions that allowed you to get a night free only at the Outrigger. 2nd night and beyond at a first responder discount rate. Wish more hotels did this. Anyhow, let's get started. Yeah, Waikiki was like this Dinner and aftermath Moana Surfrider That was it. Had dinner with the family and my nephew. Just walked around a quiet Waikiki to take pics of the hearts all over. 2nd night coming soon. Thank you Lord Jesus for a good day.
