SANTA CRUZ

Yesterday we went to Santa Cruz with our friends Ryan and Erica. We knew the whether wasn't going to be great but we went to the beach anyway hoping that maybe by the time we got there the temperature would go up 20 degrees. It didn't. I think the high of the day was 62. So needless to say we decided against getting in the ocean. (We should have gone last week when it was 90 degrees)

After we walked the boardwalk where I got what I think are the cutest yellow shoes in the world. Then we went to lunch at a place called "Aqua Blue". And fittingly the walls were painted aqua blue which I hear is not a color you want to have around food. I heard it makes you lose your appetite. I'm not sure if knowing that info made me not want to eat as much or if it is actually a proven theory but I was not as hungry sitting there waiting to eat as I had been the previous few hours.

Anyway, it was so much fun and we plan on going again in the next few weeks when it is a little warmer. We want to go on all the fun rides that are right there on the beach. If you look closely in the background of our picture you can see the rides. How cool is that?

By the way the guy that is standing behind Cody was in the middle of a photo shoot. Well thats a bit extreme, I wouldn't exactly call it a photo shoot. He was taking pictures of a girl who thought she was a professional model. She was wearing a hideous lime green and black bikini. It was hilarious. You see some funny freaking people in Santa Cruz.

Sounds like such a fun weekend!! That Aqua restaurant sounds interesting. I am going to try to call you tonight, sorry about our last phone call. By the way... you two look HOT!

Yes, Megan, you really need to look at the weather before you go down there! Some days it's hot here and freezing there and vice versa. I've had my share of cold days in Santa Cruz too. I'm glad you got some cute shoes! And that white roller coaster at the boardwalk is really really fun.

So fun - good for you for venturing out. My mom took Taryn and I to see UC Santa Cruz when we were college-hunting and we were not so impressed by the campus. Maybe it's because we had just toured Stanford. Anyway - that is so funny you mention that guy in a photoshoot, we saw the same thing in Fla... I was like, does that girl really think she's cute? weird.

Haha, I'm totally embarrassed about the color blue! Didn't mean to spoil your appetite! My favorite plate at home happens to be blue and it's never kept me from eating till my belly is FULL! :) Anyway, we had so much fun with you guys!!! We'll have to keep it up. Love ya!
