Almost time!
Greetings from just a few days away from the 2011 trip to Santa Cruz with my family! I'm getting super excited about this trip mostly because I don't have to drive and I get to totally relax without any worries :D Hopefully this will be a drama free vacation... one can dream can't they :P ( Read more... ) -
UPDATE!
At long last there is a new trip in the works. This time it will just be me and my family. It will mark the first Munro Family Vacation since 1992! It will also be the first time since 92 that we were all at Seabright. I'm going to make a few changes to the blog as it is no longer just Girls in Santa Cruz ( Read more... ) -
Day 13: The final countdown...
So we left the beach house today with little fanfare and a seagull that somehow reminded us of Kirus. I'll be missing it, in a way. It's a nice place to vacation, and it's a very pretty city, but I can feel how crowded it is more keenly than in Kelowna. So, in short, happy to be heading home.
( Anyway, I promised you a tour of the house way back, so here... ) -
Day 12: Not much to say...
Tonight is our last night here on the beach... Tomorrow morning (sometime...) we'll be on our way back to Canada, so we spent most of the day just sitting in the sun and doing some cleaning ( Read more... ) -
Day 11: AWHAAAAUGHHHHHH!!!11!!
There were a number of options for the day 11 tagline, but Carmen hit it on the nail with the general screaming. See, today we actually went to the boardwalk. Yeah... Sam... you know what I'm talking about. ^_-
( But lets back up a bit, shall we? ) -
Day 10: I'm on a boat aaaand I'm going fast aaaaand....
I decided to sleep last night instead of post, so this is a bit late. :3 One of the things I had been really looking forward to on this trip came up yesterday, and I at least had a whole pile of fun.
( Though I can't stop apologising to Clara and Carmen about the cold... ) -
Day 9: HIGHBALL!
TRAIN!
....
To tell it in a short way... today we went to see trees and go on a train.
( Of course, there's always a bit more to the story... ) -
Day 8: What's that?... A conversation piece! ^_-
There's this log down on the beach that has been smoking for two days now. Every once in a while we get the smell of burning. It's not unpleasant... just smokey.
The sunburn has receded somewhat... It's just in my armpits that it's bad. I have armpit burn. D: As such, Clara ordered me to stay out of the sun, so I did. We forewent the Redwoods and ( Read more... ) -
Day 7: The sunscreen! It does nothing!
No pictures today. I mean... I could take pictures of my sunburn, but you don't want to see it (besides, tomorrow there will be pictures enough, and I'm sure to still be a nice pink color ( Read more... ) -
Day 6: Why must everything on this menu inevitably be Deep Fried?
Sorry I didn't get a post up yesterday, but we got back late and everyone decided to go pass out. :D good times. Hopefully I got it up in a timely manner.
The fog was thick yesterday morning, which was perfect, because we were going to Monterey to see the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The drive is comparable to the drive between Vernon and Kelowna, and the ( Read more... )
