UC Santa Cruz |
Our wisteria got it’s first bloom of the year and started to open Saturday morning!
Thursday, I also felt lucky to spend an evening with high school girlfriends.
I couldn’t believe the citrus in the trees above us at this cute taqueria we had dinner at!
Gorgeous!
It was such a warm evening we enjoyed a long dinner outdoors.
It’s a blessing to still be friends with so many nice women from my class.
Love these girls! Some are friends since 7th grade.
On Saturday the family did a self-guided campus tour of The University of California at Santa Cruz.
You know I love a good redwood. The smell of the redwood forest permeates the air!
The lower part of the campus has rolling hills and old barns. All have a panoramic view of the ocean.
Truly one of the most lovely situated colleges in the world.
Afterward, we had lunch and a lovely stroll in Downtown Santa Cruz.
We got to our favorite bookstore and had coffee at Verve and ice cream at The Penny Ice Creamery.
Grif bought a beanie to cover his newly shaved head. This was probably the best place with all the surf shops, so he was happy to find the ‘perfect’ one. (Isn’t that kind of an oxymoron?)
One more thing that made me feel grateful and happy was playing tennis on a team again.
I had a doubles match this weekend. We lost, but it felt nice to be back out there. Something about playing a sport makes me feel young and just good.
Are you getting a little Spring fever at all yet?
