A visit to Santa Cruz to go to see a lecture by Dr Love about Rockfish was the trigger for this day out to the Seymour Centre at UCSC. We wandered around the boardwalk before heading off to lunch at The Picnic Basket which was full of tasty goodness.

A gargoyle and a pigeon at the Haunted House – whooo!!

 After the beach and lunch we went on over to the Seymour Centre for the lecture – my youngest one was not too keen so we wandered around and checked out the starfish and sharks. There was even an amazing looking lobster on display. Though the starfish touch pool is always popular!
