Santa Cruz recap


We drove home on Sunday, June 25th from Santa Cruz...the coastal weather was terrific and we missed the record heat that the whole valley experienced that week. Alex and Onita visited us from Thursday to Sunday morning, and Dean and Carol visited from Friday to Sunday morning. Lindsay and Abby vacationed with us for the week. We all took turns exercising Abby down at the beach and after a few days she really calmed down. Dean and I played Pajaro in Royal Oaks (I shot a 97) and Spring Hills in Watsonville (I shot a 94). Pajaro reminded us a little of the Presidio golf course. Alex, Onita, and Lindsay all bicycled down for Woodies on the Wharf on their cruisers. Our beach house (see above) had just been vacated the day before by the student renters and the owners worked feverishly to get it clean for us (and they did). We also visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium and dined out most of the week . Dean made dinner for us on Saturday and then we built a bonfire on the beach that night. Tomorrow night we have a suite at Raley's field to see the River Cats play and then fireworks postgame. Ryan is having a 4th of July party, and Lindsay just started her new job with the law firm Dreyer & Babich, and we painted my Honda SE "Toyota 040 white", it makes it look like a new car. And, my 56th birthday was dinner at The Mandarin with "adult" fortune cookies.
