Watsonville

my best friend and I are getting married in a few weeks, and going to Pajaro Dunes for our honeymoon. we went there with a big group of people in high school, and loved it. now it will be just us, hooray!

We were in Albany (CA) when I was younger, but moved down to Watsonville when I was about 9. I was there until I moved out at 21. I think of it as my home town. Visit: Taylor’s Hot Dogs, the hole in the wall burrito place, the Mansion House, the gazebo in the town square… Go to Sunset Beach, drive up to Mt. Madonna Inn, visit the cemetery where my grand parents are buried. Ride a bike down Rampart Rd (bring a change of pants). Visit the High School where my garage band rocked the M.A.T.A. Talent Show many years over; where there is no high school band anymore (budget cuts) :-( Where the main building collapsed in 2 different earthquakes. Where I got head in the upstairs choir costume room (who didn’t?)...

And if none of that interests you, at least see the place where they bottle Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider.
