Strange Sightings On The Coast

Our next coastal stop was Santa Cruz, CA, where we walked the pier, fought our way through the crowds at the timeless boardwalk, jogged downtown, had our Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives fix at Santa Cruz Diner, listened to Katie's new very favorite radio station, 105.1 K-Ocean & couldn't explain what we saw at The Mystery Spot!  We then drove to San Jose, CA to see the bizarre Winchester Mystery House before going back inland to Fresno, CA.

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
The boardwalk couldn't have been busier, so we decided to
dip our toes in the ocean & skip the long amusement park rides

The Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz
This tourist attraction has a circular field, 150-feet in length with unexplainable energy

Babbitt's "pimp lean" at The Mystery Spot's Log Cabin
Of course Babbitt was skeptical & convinced himself that everyone leaned because of the
cabin's angle plus the optical illusions...Katie on the other hand bought in hook, line & sinker

The O'Babbitt's uncontrollably leaning inside The Mystery Spot's Log Cabin
Katie found it difficult to stand up & was even lightheaded...Babbitt couldn't have felt more normal

Babbitt in a tree we found along The Mystery Spot's Hiking Trail
Babbitt's secret love for climbing trees has really become evident to Katie
since we embarked on this trip...he simply can't help himself

The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose
The Winchester Rifle heiress added onto her mansion until the day she died
(38 years, 24 hours a day), because she visited a fortuneteller, who informed her that
she would live forever if she never stopped building at her property

The Winchester Mystery House's Door To Nowhere
There are a few unexplainable additions here, including this door that opens out onto thin air
We ended up seeing quite a bit of this home by skipping the tour & walking the grounds instead
