This weekend is a good reminder of why I love Santa Cruz. It has been 85 degrees all weekend long... so we had perfect beach weather in mid-November. We started the weekend by going to Vita's favorite park on Saturday, and then hit the beach today. Vita was a bit apprehensive about the crashing sounds of the ocean waves, so she only went in up to her toes (although she did get splashed up to her knees). Vita was very cuddly and clingy near the water, but she was her normal adventurous self back on the dry sand. There are a zillion pictures below, to give you a glimpse of our lovely weekend. There was only one disappointment. You have to be 36" tall to ride the carousel at the boardwalk.
