The Flea: Santa Cruz

Darrick was so thoughtful. He booked a spot to camp in Santa Cruz for us. I had only been there once with him for dinner so that was still a lot to see. It was lovely. I loved the sea air. The birds talked all day and into the night. There was so much going on.

Sonoma went on a two mile walk. She was pooped. Or was it, she pooped? I think both.

I'm tired mom.

Oh good, lets rest.

Are you happy?

Water for adults, children, and critters.

I looked over a fence, and I saw this little hidden garden.

We stopped to eat at this great Italian restaurant. The owner is nuts. He talks to you in Italian like you know what he is talking about. I can get some, but it was hard to understand. He is so funny. He loves motorcycles. He got all fired up over us do to Italy and motorcycles. He even sent a friend over that was from Lucca to talk to us. Crazy! Good food, and amazing fun.

Here he is in the kitchen. He is so crazy high energy. What a guy. He loves life, and good food.

Darrick took me to all the good food places. He knows them all, since he loves to eat. Hahahaha We went to breakfast at a very crowded pastry shop. I saw these kids looking at the amazing pastries was too cute. I don't know why it struck me. You could just feel the kids wondering what one they wanted to pick. So many, what do I want? They all look good. Funny part was I was thinking the same thing.

One of each please!

Off to ride a historic train.

Heres look'n at you kid. ( I don't know why I love his faces that he makes. Cracks me up. As a matter of fact, I have had the giggles as of late. He says something funny or the way he says something sounds funny. I start with a laugh and it turns into giggles and I can't stop laughing. )
