We celebrate Flash's first birthday 30 days early due to the marginal
weather in Santa Cruz in late October. So we're here on 9/25/2008.

We start our day with lunch at Aldo's at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor.

A perfect day ... can we move down here?

The lighthouse shows the harbor entrance to the mariners.

What a fun day ... it just makes me smile!

Such a nice life here at the coast ... what's this ... pelicans?


I'd sure like to get in the middle of that ... I wonder if they like to play!

This looks like a nice place - some funny glare in the picture though.

Lots of beach, boats, shore birds, water, and smells we
don't have at home. I wonder what's happening in Capitola?

In Capitola, we visit Zelda's, a favorite of ours on the beach.

Let's go in and have a beverage!

There's nothing like a little mid-day Happy Hour.

We take just a quick walk around the boardwalk
as it's not the most dog-friendly area of Santa Cruz.

Surfing ... I know I could do this if I had a miniature board ...

A nice tribute ... still looking for that mini-surfboard.

OK, we've had enough fun for one day. It's time to go ... I'm hungry!
