Spring Break Getaway

For Peter's birthday, I got him tickets to see Penn and Teller in Vegas. Since he generously offered to take me (*wink*), we left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa F in the Bay area. We decided to make an overnight stop in Santa Cruz to see Peter's brother and his girlfriend, Anne. We had fun family time. And, Peter and I were lucky to get 36 hours of kid-free time to ourselves. It was a great Spring vacation!

(As usual, I took way too many photos--over 100--so I picked about 20 to share here and will upload the rest on Facebook.)

Up first, lunch at Taqueria Vallarta, followed by ice cream from Mission Creamery

Next, touring the Alma Mater

Peter pointing out his on-campus apartment

 It was a really beautiful place to go to school

My old dorms were getting a makeover; they were nowhere near this snazzy when I lived there!

Of course, sunset at Natural Bridges

The boardwalk

Went to watch the surfers at Pleasure Point with Uncle Eric

Peter, Baby J, and I lived in an apartment about a 15-minute walk from this spot.

 Vegas Baby!

Ready for Penn and Teller

With Penn

Teller takes selfless with the fans!

A little time at the pool before heading home.
