The Jessee's Hit the Road

We are on day 5 of our 2 week vacation.  We left Auburn at about 9:00 am on Wednesday and headed south.  We drove about 9 hours to Crescent City, CA.  We spent the night there and then on Thursday drove about 8 1/2 hours to Santa Cruz, CA.  So far things are going pretty well.  If it hadn't been for the flu bug that decided to come with us things would be great.  Noah was sick the day before we left and Lucy spent Friday throwing up at various places around Santa Cruz. She was a good trooper though, and still managed to have some fun.  Billy wasn't feeling great either but he wasn't sure if it was the bug or getting up early for surfing lessons, which he and Nicholas enjoyed.  We spent Friday exploring the boardwalk and beach of Santa Cruz.  We had fun riding rides and playing in the water.  I have put together a little movie of our day.

Ok, apparently my movie is not going to work right now.  I will try to figure it out and post it later.  

On Saturday we drove down to Monterey Bay to visit the aquarium they have there.  It was a  pretty nice aquarium and we got to see quite a bit of the beach front because we had to park about 7 blocks away.  I haven't downloaded any pictures yet so you'll have to wait to see them later.

Today  we went to Six Flags: Discovery Bay (near San Francisco)  It was a lot of fun.   My family can't quite hang with me in the Roller Coaster department, I could ride them all day, over and over!  Lucy shows real promise though. As you will see in the movie, she went on "The Fire Ball,"  (and that was while she was still sick.)  Today she went on almost anything she was tall enough for and right before the park closed we went on the same roller coaster 3 times in a row because there was no line.  It was a lot of fun.  They also had animals there including a dolphin show and a killer whale show.  Again, no pictures to show right now.

Tomorrow we are headed to Reno, NV where we will stay one night and then continue on to Park City, UT.  Hopefully I will get that movie and some pictures to share in the next few days.
