Miles: 4347
Woke up this morning to the sound of rushing waves.
We had a LONG drive today. Went from just south of Santa Barbara all the way up to just south of Santa Cruz. It's a lot further of a drive than I was expecting. It was gorgeous though.
At one point, we drove for 27 miles and all you could see were vineyards... Just rows and rows of nothing but vines.... It was gorgeous! The mountains had these brilliant shades of green all over their rolling hills and then pops of color in orange or yellow randomly. It was picturesque, in fact I think Grandad and I did that puzzle once.
We stopped for lunch at this local dive called Pappy's in some town along the road. The food was pretty good but I loved the history that covered the walls. There were all the local ranch brands up on their main dining room walls and their menus. The locals are all ranchers of some sort that remind me of the good ole' boys that are rough and tough and don't mind anybody. It was fun. Oh! And they made their own pies. I've recently become a pie-finder of sorts. The Boy loves pie so I always look for the best pies to tell him about. I know, I'm lame.
We finally get to our spot this afternoon and I'm not joking, I could trip and fall in the ocean!! We are directly on the walk along the beach. We are in another CSB but I almost think this one might be a shade prettier than the last. Don't get me wrong, I loved Carpinteria, but Seacliff.... Man.... It's a-whole-nother world up here.
I'm laying in my bed and the cool breeze from the ocean is so chilly and the roar of the crashing waves is so loud yet soothing. If I could get these damn kids to shut up and go home, this would be perfect! Well we will overlook the hammock to make complete perfection.
I'm going to relax and listen to the waves tonight.
I miss you.
I love you.
Goodnight!

P.S. Roo made a new friend and I took her picture this morning before we left. I think he's really missing his best friend... But meet the neighbor's Lucy!!
