Santa Cruz

In our quest to do things out of our routine, Sunday morning we climbed out of bed early to begin our road trip adventure to Santa Cruz. I had researched and found a great dive for breakfast. We were ready except for one thing: we never made it to Santa Cruz! The best laid plans…

The weather was so cold and cloudy that we didn’t feel like a long drive. Oops. This was discussed in the car as we left the house: "We are up. We are dressed. Where should we go?"

We headed over the pass to a really famous place about 20 minutes away called Buck’s. It is best known for all the business deals that were made in their booths during the Tech boom. Great food. Great people. Just an easy drive away. We even found a bit of sun.

We arrive as they opened at 8:00. We left at 8:30 and home by 9:30. It was a beautiful ride there, we talked to the nicest people, Michael had their famous Eggs Benedict which he said was the best ever and we came home relaxed and happy. We really had a nice time.

Just not the day we had planned.

When we got home, bills were paid, a tablecloth was ironed, files were updated, and Michael bleached the back stone patio. It was just another normal Sunday after all.
