"The Beach House"

This is the view from our room.



We just returned from a nice big family trip to the beach. We spent about 5 days just south of Santa Cruz at a wonderful and relaxing resort called Seascape. For the last 22 years, Evan's family has spent a week at this beach. It used to be that they rented a beach house in the area, thus we all call it the "beach house week," but a few years ago they decided to rent out condos at the nearby resort instead. It is beautiful and we had a lot of fun again this year. McKenzie loved it all; the family, the sand castles, the waves, and best of all her little cousin. We too loved spending time with everyone. Evan got to skim board with his brothers, as well as enjoy a few games of "home run derby" on the beach. I took advantage of the early morning low tide and went running by myself a few times. It really was a nice vacation. We left wondering why we don't visit the beach more often. After all, Kenz was a big fan. We look forward to next August when we can return to this resort. Until then, we are going to do a better job at taking mini beach trips.
