After a long night at the airport, my best friend Jaime flew into Sacramento Tuesday morning. I got to go up later that day to meet her at her sister's house. We had a great time playing with the kids, going to the store (Jaime's dinner request was to have choices), making dinner with pazookie for dessert, and watching a movie together. The next day, Jaime and I drove over to the coast for a couple days. It was wonderful.
The first thing we did when we got there was have BBQ for lunch, and a large basket of garlic fries.
We stayed in the Capitola area and the first afternoon/evening we got settled in then went to the beach to walk along the shore.
We went down to the pier
and saw the cement ship, which grossed me out because it was covered with birds and poop.
Back to walking on the beach,
Jaime got her feet wet and a little more besides, oops.
We stayed to watch the sun go down,
which ended up being disappointing because it just disappeared behind some clouds, but it was pretty before that happened.
Then we checked out the town and went to Mr. Toots coffeehouse, quite the happening place.
Thursday morning was interesting, we had to switch rooms because they were booked, so after breakfast they asked us to just hang out and they would tell us when our next room was ready. That sounded fine and we made tea and drank it on the balcony.
However, it ended up being longer than we expected and we started getting hungry, we weren't able to move to our new room until about 1:00. After that we drove into Capitola again and got food and pastries from Gail's bakery; mmm, so good.
We took a drive to Santa Cruz and wandered around the shops over there for awhile and found a great deal on canvases. Returning to Capitola, we got Pizza My Heart for dinner and ate it on the beach. Jaime made me get in the ocean with her, which wasn't as cold as I was worried it would be. We were planning to sit in the spa afterwards, but it was already crowded, so we jumped in the pool instead. We woke up early the next morning to go on a walk along the beach while it was cool and foggy, then had breakfast and checked out.
We stopped at Hanks for lunch and got great sandwiches then went to a little ice cream shop where they make their own waffle cones.
Then we made the drive back home, arriving in time to unload the car before Jonah's birthday party. There were a lot of people who came to celebrate and it was fun to see everyone and eat good food and an amazing cake that Heather made with the boys. It was 4 layers and alternated between chocolate cake and funfetti cake.
