Day 29 - Apr. 17th: Revenge of the Sushi

<-- Day 28 - Apr. 16th: Artichokes and Sushi Boats  | OVERVIEW | Day 30-31 - Apr.18th-19th: Bay Area Fun  -->

I had big plans for today -- a trip out to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, a walk through downtown Santa Cruz, and an excursion to the Mysterious Mystery spot.

Alas, all that was put aside as I wore a path between the bed and the toilet. Was it the sushi or the artichokes? Who knows, but something didn't agree with my stomach this morning.

I felt much better by the afternoon. We even made it to dinner the Santa Cruz Diner for dinner (though I had breakfast), which has appeared on a number of food shows.

That's a mural inside the restaurant. Ann was concerned the mermaid might get her! BTW, she is the understanding wife who hadn't combed her hair yesterday. She'll do anything for a photo!

Tomorrow, our plans to locate the worlds largest Monopoly board, visit the Pez Museum, and visit with Dan and see his Traveller will still occur.

One thing I did have time to do today was plot the remainder of our trip. The top is cut off, but I'll provide that later on in the trip.

    I see you are going to travel thru Placerville. Are you planning on seeing Sutter's Mill? I thought it was cool to see the place that started the rush. Thanks for letting us peer in on your guys adventure.

    Brett, Yes. Mom was the one who suggested that to me. It looks like they have a good museum there as well. It's also on the way to Georgetown and Lake Tahoe. I've cross over Donner pass a bunch of times, but never made it to Tahoe. Glad you are enjoying it! - Dave

    Same here, we've always passed to the north of Tahoe on I-80, but last year we peeled off east from Sacramento on the route you are taking. Dropping down into Tahoe is a great view.

    Hey Dave, the Goddess and I really enjoy eating fast food but we like the fast to arrive food not the fast to depart kind. Either way indoor plumbing is mighty nice.

    Paul, On these unfortunate occasions indoor plumbing is not overrated!!! - Dave
