Quick 1 night trip to Santa Cruz for Mai & Nick's wedding and to hang out w/ Ollie & Mel's family (since they were in Santa Cruz for a wedding the same day). It was a great opportunity for all the kids (Kaiya, Ellie and Aiden) to hang out.
Lodging
Seascape Resort in Aptos
- Accommodations: 2 bd villa/condo, 2 stories, full kitchen, big living room. Clean, not modern but not too old-looking.
- Value: $335 for 1 night was not too bad on short notice for 2 families.
Food
Shadowbrook: Lunch / wedding reception - great setting, with fun "elevator" down to waterfront dining area.
Taco Bar at El Palomar: Dinner at this "taco bar" in the back of a hotel on Pacific Ave in downtown Santa Cruz. Tasty, affordable tacos with addictive chips and salsa.
Sanderlings @ Seascape: Breakfast at the hotel because it was easy and raining. Food is pretty mediocre. Convenient if staying on the property, but just okay and overpriced.
Activities
Capitola beaches
