Beach Weekend in Capitola

Earlier in the week my best friend Annie had made a Facebook event about a few of us going to Capitola and staying at a combination of two beach houses. Work was stressful and looking forward to spending the weekend at the beach helped me keep it together. For me, having things to look forward to can often make or break a crazy work-week.

Saturday dawned, and I had not yet packed, purchased a camera charger/cord, or filled my tank with gas. Rushing around happened but Annie, Sunny and I finally got on the road after a few setbacks.

There wasn’t much traffic and we arrived in Capitola where it was beautiful. We grabbed groceries and went to the beach. The plan for dinner was cook-out at Marcos’s. We took a hot mess of photos not only at the beach, but also back at Beach House #1 (BH1)

The crew was: Brady, Sunny, Claire, Dana, Natasha, Annie, Greg #1, Greg #2, Sunny Maxey, Darius, Huyson, Steven, Deawodi, Gloria, Marcos, Irina, Jason and myself. More people came later, but I think this is everyone that was a good sport about being documented in the lovely photos above.

It was the perfect weekend: food, friends, and lots of fun.The beautiful beach never hurts as well!

Hope you had a good weekend!More fun things are planned, but this was the best fun I’ve had this month!

Love,

Happy Friday

My roommate and I drove down to San Luis Obisbo last Saturday to attend a friend’s wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch. It was warm and sunny. The wedding was beautiful! There were people at the wedding that we knew from our bible study group, so we had a blast eating and dancing with them.

The reception was in a barn!

So yesterday my roomie and I hit the road and joined my parents at our house in Lake Tahoe. Today we went to the beach and relaxed with my brother’s pup by the water. It was a clear day with warm sunshine. It was a lovely last day at the beach before school starts next week.

We went to Chimney Beach, and hiked down to it from the highway.

A friend showed me this amazing video and I was completely blown away. Watch it!
