Wow it's been a while since I posted. A couple of weeks ago I drove all the way up to Santa Cruz to see my friend Lauryl. We went to the beach the day I got there and just hung out. The beach was really pretty, and only a couple of blocks from the house her Grandma had rented for their vacation. I don't have pictures of the house, sadly, but I do have some of the beach.

pretty beach scenery
look at the pretty cloud formations :)
We also went to see star trek that night, and had dinner at a cool Mexican restaurant. The food was gorgeous!
carne asada quesadilla carne asada tacos
Due to the fact that I had to leave the next evening, we got up bright and early and headed out to find used books stores and thrift stores. As we were driving we saw this hair salon. I needed a picture of it :)
isn't the name just perfect?
Next we stopped at a doughnut shop. Lauryl is fascinated with them because apparently they don't have doughnut shops in either Virginia or Idaho. Go figure.
lets play with the food! :)
when we got to a consignment shop(basically an expensive thrift store) I found this AMAZING skirt, but didn't buy it, because I had already bought another skirt at the previous store.
pretty huh?
these shoes were just fun, but too small, no danger of buying these! :P
after we were done with consignment shops we went to lunch in a little cafe that was connected to a book store. They had such yummy sounding food!
mine was a pesto panini with Lauryl's was a walnut avacado salad
cheese and spinach type stuff pretty huh?
After lunch we went to a used book store. the book store had a copy of an Anne of Green Gables book that I needed to replace because Patches chewed up my copy several years ago. They also had the Jane Eyre movie, and No Reservations, as well as a cople of ASL books I'm pretty sure I'll need later for school. I was super happy. :)
When it was time for me to leave we took a couple of pictures outside her house.
