Santa Cruz!

Sheldon took me on a fabulous date to Santa Cruz!  It's about 45 minutes away from where we are staying, we went down Friday night and stayed in a hotel right across from the beach!  We got up early and went for a walk on the beach and watched the surfers that were getting an early start on the waves!  We wondered what it would be like to live here and go for a run along the beach everyday...AMAZING!

Later we went for a walk on the Wharf to look at all the little shops and we found......

.....Some very noisy sea lions!  They were so funny, basking in the sun, pushing each other in the water, and barking up a storm!  It was fun to watch them for a little bit.  

This is a cute little light house, and at the point is were all the surfers go to catch the best waves.  We had to go over there to check it out for ourselves!

These are all of the surfers waiting in the water for the next big wave! There were so many of them out there, I had to keep Sheldon from jumping out there!...He thought he was a pro after watching them for 10 minutes

It was a great day to explore the area and the beauties of the ocean!  I miss our amazing mountain's in Utah...but the ocean is something!  

We decided we needed to go on these little adventures now before Sheldon gets so busy with work and he won't get any free time!  I'm so glad I get to go on these adventures with my best friend, everything is so much more fun when he is there!
