| Santa Cruz Beach |
| We took a day to go down to Santa Cruz and spend some time at the beach. It was a great day for the surfers! |

| Karen looks out at the waves. She loves the ocean and likes to just watch the water roll in. |
 |
| We found this nice spot on the beach. It wasn't too busy...actually it was just us most of the time. We had a picnic snack and then took a nice nap with the ocean as our background. |
 |
| Our view of the ocean from our spot on the beach. The clouds were rolling in, so not much sun! |
 |
| One of the things we like to do is see the many lighthouses along the coast. We like to get pictures of them when we can. |
 |
| The coastline in Santa Cruz, where the sun was shining. The ocean is so blue and pretty here. You can see the waves coming in. |
 |
| A little alcove forms. Those bobbing things in the water, are ducks riding out the waves. |
 |
| Ducks weren't the only things in the water. Surfers wait on their boards for the perfect wave to carry them back to shore. |
 |
| The waves were pretty strong, but they were beautiful to see. It is so relaxing to watch the waves in the ocean. |
