Life's a Beach

Here are just a few more shots from our trip to Santa Cruz. First stop: Hidden Beach.

Our standard self-portrait, of course!

We visited Capitola Village and watched the surfers for a bit.


Heading down to turn the puppies loose at Sand Dollar Beach. They really love the beach! Until Cooper found something to roll in and stunk so bad that I had to have Ib dunk him in the ocean.

The water was cold and he was not happy about being in it. To top it all off, he got another bath once we got back to Nini & Markus' house! That will teach him to roll in stinky things!

I'm pretty sure I was NOT this big when we left Tucson. I had plenty of time to grow in the car, apparently!

Ib taking in that ocean air.

A nice sunset at The Flats. We had a bonfire on the beach. What a great evening!

One more gratuitous belly-shot. This is really the only comfortable way to sit when you're packing a paunch.

Can't wait to do it all over again!
