life at the beach.

We went to Santa Cruz AGAIN!

This time with Phil's Pham.

We spent Sunday to Labor Day in a crazy old house with lots of...

boogie boarders

gargantuan marshmallows 

hot tub splashers

and...

sand eaters! (We're talking sandy baby mouths people.)

To me a good place is one where you are in walking distance of both delectable mexican food and toasty beaches. Santa Cruz is one of those places.

I am again reminded why I adore being a California native.
