Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - get away day to Santa Cruz

We woke up in our overnight spot in the parking lot of one of the nearly vacant office buildings in the Mission Oaks Technology Center.  It was quite and beautiful. 

 We skipped Marriott today, made breakfast in the MH and took off for Santa Cruz right after I finished my morning client phone call. 

It was a slow and easy ride north - about 300 miles which took us 8 hours because we stopped for lunch once and for a nap another time.  I received two potential client calls today related to networking with the Auburn Chamber of Commerce - and passed the leads on to Laurie  - working where we are is going pretty well so far.

We arrived at New Brighton Beach State Park in Capitola about dinnertime and cooked the halibut steak we bought at farmers market on Sunday.  Then a quick walk around the park after dark, and apple crisp for dessert - I have been working on apple crisp for quite some time now, and think I finally have it figured out.  Yummy!
