Into Santa Cruz...Surfer's Museum

last time when we were suppose to go to carmel and ended up taking the wrong turn, we ended up going to santa cruz. besides going to the boardwalk for a late lunch, we decided to drive around toward surfer's museum.

we never been there before, so we thought it might be fun to go check it out. plus many ppl said there's a portion of the beach that allows dogs to run free.

i thought the museum would be a big place, but was surprised it's more like a little gift shop that resides in a lighthouse. here's a photo of the surfer museum from the outside. photo was shot with our canon powershot sd750. i wanted to bring my 30D, but opted not to; since baby gears comes first.



that day was super windy and very chilly. here's a photo of cherie wrapped up like a chinese eggroll of clothes. she's almost as tall as the lighthouse... plus, look what's in between her fingers... she's holding the flag between her fingers... haha



after that, we decided to walk further down to discover the beach. it was such a beautiful view. click on the photo to view it in a larger size. i really like this view... hope you enjoy it too.



here's a photo of cherie and my mom in law with haley sleeping in her stroller. her'es a view of everyone heading back toward the car, because it was just way too cold!! arn't californian's spoiled? that's why we have high taxes.. it's called sunshine tax, weather tax, plus being spoiled tax. haha

chloe was the only one that was running towards me. i think it's because she wanted me to hold her and keep her warm.

all in all, that was a beautiful day. kinda cold and chilly.. but a great day of family fun nonetheless. we should go back again next time when it's not that cold... hehe
