Santa Cruz

Our little family had a chance to get away with Lois and Robert to Santa Cruz, where they rented a house for their vacation and asked us to join them. Of course we gladly accepted, since we do not get to get out much these days and it was a perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together. Before this, I have been to Santa Cruz only once and it left somewhat of a sour taste in my mouth, so the location did not get me all that excited, but I was happy to give it another chance and I am glad I did. This time around, I have seen quite a bit more of what Santa Cruz has to offer and I realized that it’s not just all about the Boardwalk and a dirty beach. We spent quite a bit of time at the beach, went on walks, ate yummy food and tried to relax, but I have come to one conclusion that vacations are not quite vacations anymore. Now days it is more about changing a scenery, because you pretty much do the same thing as at home with the kiddos, it’s just in a different place. The feeding, changing, bathing and laundry all come with you 😉 We had a great time and are grateful to Robert and Lois for inviting us on this little get away. Hanging out with Sarah was a great bonus to the trip, we were bummed Bobby was called to go on a fire.
