We only had two nights at New Brighton, because back on March 1 when it was time to reserve state park campsites online via Reserve America, I spent too much time getting our Carlsbad reservations, so by the time I moved on toe Santa Cruz, I could not get six consecutive nights at New Brighton, so I took 2 here and 4 at Sunset State Beach about 10 miles farther south.
So this morning, we packed for the road and moved the MH out to the Safeway shopping center parking lot because we couldn't leave it at NEw Brighton and it was too early to check in to Sunset. then we drove in to downtown Santa Cruz to find a work spot. Before lunch we worked at the main branch of the Santa Cruz Public Library. It was just OK - the first out of Auburn library we've
visited that was not modern an awesome. Plus, we had to pay for parking:(
We walked to lunch in the downtown area of Santa Cruz - an area we have never been in before - it was very active and Haight-Ashbury like. We stayed there at a Peet's Coffee shop for the rest of the afternoon because I had a phone call appointment with the same client I talked to on Wednesday morning before we left Camarillo - I am doing the same thing for her as I am with the RCD of Santa Cruz County - helping her organize her QuickBooks file so she can take better care of her church's special ministry funds.
After work, we decided that cooking would not be good because it was getting late and we still needed to drive an check in, so we found a Papa Murphy's pizza place in Capitola and got a 14" vegetarian pizza - a perfect size for our oven.
Trouble is, our oven is not digital, so we cannot tell for sure how hot it is, and we burned the bottom pretty bad. The top was delicious, though:) We ate outside in our new home for four nights - a really nice, secluded campsite at Sunset State Beach,
with a view of the setting sun over the sand dune between us and the ocean.
Friday night happy hour!
