Leaving The City

After being in the city for all of two weeks we were faced with our first weekend during which we had nothing that had to be done. So naturally we left town for the day and headed south for the historic beachtown of Santa Cruz (for those of you who loved either of the Corey's you might remember it from The Lost Boys).


We decided to get in our semi-registered car and head down the Pacific Coast on Route 1 towards Santa Cruz. Along the way Jeff found a new sport to take up - sail surfing (see picture below). He should be an expert by the next blog update.


When we got to Santa Cruz we went to the 100 year old beach boardwalk and made plans to come back and ride the rides. In the meantime Jeff won a stuffed monkey in the toss-a-wiffle-ball-in-a-basket game. We enjoyed lounging on a blanket on the beach for awhile but didn't see a water sunset as the Santa Cruz beach is one of the few places on the coast in Northern California that doesn't face west.


In other news Jeff began taking public transportation to work this past week with mixed results. He's considering taking the bus and train still but instead of taking a shuttle bus riding his bike the three miles from the train station to work. Does anyone reading this know someone who takes a bus, train and bicycle as part of his or her commute? Well, you might soon.
