santa cruz.

labor day in ten:

1. let's go to... santa cruz.

2. our partners in crime: the tibbs, plus baby graham. 

{only the cutest baby ever, and has been from day one}

3. we took a nice long stroll on the boardwalk;

which, consisted of roller coasters, people watching and the

scrumptious scent of cotton candy on a hot summer day. 

4. a tiny, but lovely scenic drive on "west cliff" road.

{do you want a beach house on a cliff as much as i do?}

5. classic stop for ice cream at the town's most popular stop.

6. side trip to capitola;. a darling, quaint little shopping area.

{take me back soon, please!}

7. back in the car for more driving, tired baby cries, and labor day traffic.

8. can't have a holiday without delicious food, right?

our holiday consisted of a gourmet lunch and a 'pit stop' at five guys and fries.  

9. lots of laughter due to talk of nose jobs, comparison in burger joints 

and the argument over the state of always wanting something.

10. all that diet coke didn't affect the exhaustion from the fun day;

back home we went and jumped right into bed.

cheers to awesome friends, holidays that fall on a monday
 and the beach, of course.

how was your holiday? 

boring, i know.

boring picture to go with a boring post.

i'm lame, aren't i?

 just guess i'm a little too tired lately for blogging.

i sure wish i wasn't.

i also wish i was back were i was standing in this picture...

carmel beach. simply gorgeous.

and pebble beach is a sight to see.

anywho.... this week as been quite refreshing.

{the usual; dance, school and work.}

however, we've been enjoy my few extra minutes off lately.

we bought some goods at trader joe's

and green's market these last couple days.

{going the route of eating super healthy and organic.}

and i'll have you know....

i have been drinking my water instead of diet coke. yay!

life seems to be quite healthy lately.

and i loooove it. 

health nut set aside, we did go to yogurt mill tonight;

and let me tell you- they don't mess around. yum.

how can one possibly resist frozen yogurt?

you can't. it's impossible. 

well, friends. that's all i have in me tonight.

i'm already under the covers fighting sleep as it is.

it all boils down to this...

i suggest a trip to carmel beach, organic food and frozen yogurt.

three of my favorite things.
