Capitola, California

Anthony and I took a little trip to Capitola, California without kids. This has only happened once before- for Anthony's birthday when there was only Caramel and Rhett. It is pretty amazing thing to leave and go somewhere with your spouse only, and to think some couples do this regularly, pure genius. We met up with Anthony's dad Neil and Jackie and sister Charity and Benny. Visited with Jackie's son Billy for a bit too.
Headed to Santa Cruz one day, of course Anthony picked out a claw game to play. He picked one he played last time we were in Santa Cruz (he won a blue monkey that time). This time he won a plush penguin. Yes, so exciting. Anthony is exploding with excitement in this picture.
Anthony was excited to try a deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He gives it a thumbs up which was a surprise. Two years ago I tried the Oreos, not that great. Oreos are way better dip in milk or mixed in ice cream or hot fudge....anyways.
Fun picture on the Ferris Wheel taken by Charity a seat in front of us.
Enjoying food and music on the wharf.
Eating without kids is a magical thing.
You can just sit and eat- amazing.
Anthony and Benny trying to be cool by eating the faces of super heroes.
This sweet car picked us up from the hotel and drove us to dinner.

The restaurant, Shadowbrook, has wonderful greenery surrounding it and a river.

We celebrated Anthony's dad birthday and our 9th anniversary.
Last time we were at this restaurant, Anthony told his dad we were getting married.
 
We also enjoyed walking on the beach collecting things for Caramel, strolling up to Gayle's Bakery, and being with family.
