rio del mar is south of santa cruz and capitola. beating the crazy california traffic means getting on the road no later than 9am.
we met up with several other fun families and made our way to the beach.
parking wasn't too bad too (another reason to get there early, like by 11am) but i think we took one of the last spots. if you head down beach road, go left on the round about and head to the end there is some public parking, $10 for all day.
ash is in town. which always adds some fun and color to any outing...
this pretty much sums up us.
love our friends here in california. seriously such a fun group!
we spend the day eating, laughing, napping and just enjoying the sun on the beach.
and then there's this guy.
he spent the day in the water totally loving every minute. on the boogie board chasing the waves, playing football and watching the school of dolphins. i forget sometimes what a fish he is.
to avoid the returning traffic we stopped for dinner in capitola at paradise beach grill for some tasty food. eat out on the deck and watch the sunset against the colorful homes on the beach, sets for the perfect relaxing end to a day. after which walk across the street to a tasty little ice cream shop for some "monkey business" (my favorite flavor).
