Santa Cruz for Mother's Day

Last year we started a new tradition to make a day trip somewhere the weekend of Mother's Day. This year we decided to head over to Santa Cruz on Saturday to compromise what us mom's wanted (the beach) and what the kids wanted (action and rides). We had a great day, it was a perfect sunny day, we rode rides, enjoyed the beautiful beach, and had a yummy dinner in downtown Santa Cruz. We are so lucky to live no more than two hours away from such cool places!
