begonias and the beach pt. 1

Over Labor day we took our annual trip to Capitola for the Begonia festival and it was obviously a blast. (As it always is). We rode on one of the oldest roller coasters in the nation on Santa Cruz Boardwalk, ate soft serve, and screamed our brains out from excitement. (and maybe a little bit of terror. that roller coaster was fast, man!)

Over the rest of the weekend slept in every day, walked around the town barefoot, went to the beach every day (it was our backyard for crying out loud), shared diet cokes with mom, ate ice cream after almost every meal (that 1020 down there is to. die. for. you don't even understand. Just look at those ingredients!), played with the cutest bebes around, ate our body weight in tacos and pizza, did yoga on the beach, hiked and hiked and saw the most beautiful views, and stared at all the dreamy beach houses all day long. It was seriously the way to live you guys.

We love this place. Stay tuned to see what the "begonia festival" is all about!
