The Boardwalk

It's a summery day down in Santa Cruz Beach.

The aroma of taffy and soft pretzels caresses our noses.

The drinks are a tad overpriced so my friends and I are discreetly sipping on vodka and peach.

We stop in front of the Boardwalk sign to take pictures with matching poses.

The park is a bit crowded today but that’s ok.

They and we are here to bask in the sun.

And we are also here to watch Smash Mouth slay.

Sun kissed bodies together in pursuit of fun.

As the star in the sky sets our skin is glistening.

It's been a long day of rides and merrymaking, so we’re a bit tired.

But the concert is about to start and the singer wants to make sure we’re listening.

We don’t care what anyone says, “All Star” always makes us feel inspired.

This time spent together means a lot to me,

As I watch my gorgeous friends look out to the calm dark of the sea.
