Went to Santa Cruz and rode rides and did lots of laughing with the kiddos.  I even let them eat some junk food!  Saturday we went to the Dell O'sso Family Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze.  That was our fist time there, very interesting.  It took us about 40 minutes to find our way through the maze and it was getting dark at the same time.  Today I was thinking of taking them to see the Blue Angels Show in SF for Fleet Week, but I am a little burnt out from all the actiivites....  we'll see.I can't wait for Vegas, only 10 more days!  Believe it or not, this will be the first real vacation I have been on without the kids since the divorce! Needles to say, I will be making up for lost time!
