Cruising in Santa Cruz Part I

I had an awesome trip to the California coast.  First stop was the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center in Santa Cruz!



There were lots of awesome exhibits inside.  This geodiversity exhibit showcased sands from different Monterey Bay beaches.



And then there was this small plastic whale.



I was petting it on the head when...



...whoa!  Suddenly it came apart! 



After exploring the Exploration Center, I hopped onto my awesome red bicycle and pedaled over to the Santa Cruz Wharf.  Come back for Part II!
