San Francisco Trip Part II: Touring the Bay Area with the Munshi's! Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk!

On Tuesday, we headed to Santa Cruz to show the kids the Mystery Spot, a neat place Vivek Kaka and Krishna Kaki introduced to us when we first moved out to the bay area, and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk!  Although we stopped off at the Mystery Spot first, all their tours were booked so we headed straight to the Beach Boardwalk to enjoy the rest of our day there.  Of course the kids loved riding all the rides and swimming in an ocean inlet on the beach!  This was Arjun's first time on the beach and he absolutely loved running on and playing in the sand!  The next day we learned how much he loved the ocean waves when we went to Half Moon Bay!  We also learned of Keshav's strong love for swimming and the ocean!  His exuberance and passion rubbed off on his brothers and sister, and all the kids had a blast splashing in the water during this trip!

Going on the rides...

The first ride the boys went on was
this large swing.  They loved it so
much that they...

had to go on it again!

Besides running in the sand,
Arjun absolutely loved
lying in the sand!

Family ride on the train!

Caught a picture of Daddy, Krish, Vivek Kaka, and

This was definitely not Krish's favorite ride!
