Kayak Adventure

This past weekend, I went and participated in one of my favorite outdoor pastimes; kayaking!  While I wasn't able to bring a camera on the kayak (mine isn't waterproof), I was able to capture the beautiful day on land!

We visited a place called Moss Landing in Monterey Bay, and went kayaking in Elkhorn Slew.  There was tons of wildlife!  The harbor seals were adorable, and they swam around my group, winking at us and splashing about!  One of my favorite parts of the paddle was when two juvenile sea otters were playing with each other, rolling around in the water and nibbling at each others faces... they were making the most adorable coo-ing noises, and my group just sat around watching them for a bit.  There was another otter that was massaging his cheeks, and he looked like he was grinning at us!

Following the kayak, we went to one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Cruz, called The Saturn Cafe.  It is a vegetarian restaurant, but to be honest, the food is so good, I didn't even realize this until I had been going there for years!  It has a diner theme, and it is spacey and funky; it epitomizes Santa Cruz, really!  The tomato soup is to DIE for, and their desserts are amazing!
I am always a happy camper with beautiful weather, beautiful company, and beautiful scenery!
 What is your happy place?
-Fly high, little birds!
