Santa Cruz

We took the kids down to Santa Cruz on Saturday. It's about a 2 hour drive. It's the closest beach to us. It was gorgeous! I've never seen the beach like that before. It was overcast and cloudy and the waves were crashing hard up against the rocks. The seals were barking and there were pelicans catching fish. It was awesome.

There were surfers out there trying to catch some waves


This is as close as I could get to the cliffs. They had a sign that said there were so many deaths a year so we couldn't go any further.


Trey was laughing so hard. He thought is was the funniest thing that the water would come up really fast and get us wet.


He kept squealing. When the water did get him he kept saying "Mom, where are we going?" (You know that feeling you get when you're standing in the wave and it feels like you're moving sideways?") too funny!



These are gorgeous homes. How would it be to wake up and have that view everyday?!


And this is the wharf. It was interesting. There were homeless people that would sleep right on the boardwalk, on the sand, on the benches....They had roller coasters, merry go rounds, lot's of fun things to do!


So far it's been pretty fun. There is a TON of stuff to do here. We are thinking about taking the kids to Legoland next. Stay tuned...

It looks so pretty there! That is so fun that you could go there every weekend if you wanted. At least you moved somewhere where there a lot of things to do and be seen. FUN!!
I would love to take my kids to the ocean. One day =)
