SANTA CRUZ

Speaking of New Years, we took a road trip north to ring in the Holiday in Santa Cruz with our good friends, the Dudley's and the Cooney's.  The weather was better than we ever could have imagined so we enjoyed our days at the beach, took long walks, cooked yummy meals, marveled at the sunsets and hit up the Santa Cruz boardwalk.  The moms even treated ourselves to an afternoon at the spa as a special New Year's treat.  On the way home, we meandered down Highway 1 and Annabelle got her first taste of Big Sur.  All in all, it was an amazing weekend and the perfect way to welcome a fresh new year.
