We're here in Santa Cruz!

Here we are at a REALLY kid friendly campground in Santa Cruz and we’re having a good time. We left early Saturday morning for Sacramento. We attended our dear friend Karen’s Mom, Celebration of Life Ceremony. It was a very beautiful service. That evening we headed further south on I-5 and found an RV park in Santa Nella to stay the night.


Sunday morning we went a few miles to the San Joaquin National Cemetery to visit Grandpa Lee’s burial site. The grounds are beautiful and it was very peaceful and though provoking. We then headed west to the Monterey Bay area to find our campground. We’re staying at a KOA just south of Santa Cruz. There are so many fun activities here and lots of kids for Jacob and Ella to play with. They have theme weekends here and offer tons of theme related activities, this weekend it’s Fiesta time. There is also a heated swimming pool, hot tub, mini golf, train rides, climbing wall, mechanical bull and surfboard, jumping pillow, game room, ping pong, etc., etc.!! We will definitely be coming here more often with the trailer!


That afternoon after loading up on goodies at our favorite grocery store, Trader Joes (we so need one of these in our town!), we went to visit Great Grandma Lee. It is so good to see her again. We then headed to the local drive-in theater to see Talladega Nights, the Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Real fun movie and love the drive-in! We need to start a revival and bring back the drive-in movie theater! So fun and perfect for families.


Right now we’re having some breakfast and planning on heading to the beach to do some Boogie boarding. I wish I could share some photos but Internet service is very slow and intermittent and I’m lucky to even get this posted. Until next time….
