| Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz, CA |
We spent the day by the beach in Santa Cruz again. This time, we skipped the wildness of the Boardwalk for a different kind of wild -- nature's beauty at Natural Bridges. Here, little kids inspect tide pools for marine life. Adults wander around the natural rock formations. Inland from the beach are the woods where Monarch Butterflies gather by the thousands during their annual migrations.

This happens to be the Pacific Coast, so mornings by the beach are freezing! I felt like a batty, old lady -- the kind with nine cats -- under 5 layers of clothing. All I had really intended to do was wear my Mom's dress. Dad says it was from a trip to Belgium around the '70s. While the dress was from Europe, somehow, my whole get-up felt somewhat American (like Ralph Lauren's prairie looks).

It was really a gorgeous day by the beach. I may be in a sepia mood, but the sky was blue! Families were all out celebrating Memorial Day.
