Cruisin' in Santa Cruz

Yesterday I spent the first part of my day in Santa Cruz, California, with clear skies, temperatures in the seventies, and a sandy beach. By the end of the day, I was in Fairbanks, Alaska, where it was about twenty below, and everything is covered in snow. Believe it or not, it's great to be home!

While in Santa Cruz, I enjoyed lounging at Seabright Beach...


...strolling along the Boardwalk...


...and taking in some of the beautiful sights along the rocky coast of Northern Santa Cruz.


I also hung out around the downtown area, which has many shops, restaurants, and book stores. Yes, Santa Cruz is a beautiful city with a lot to offer, but it's always good to sleep in your own bed.
