Let's all cruise to Santa Cruz (so witty)

We got a great deal on plane tickets ($54 each way!!!) and flew to San Francisco during Elena's mid-winter break to visit the Vecchiets. Despite many people feeling poorly with various symptoms, we had a super fun time! After visiting Al's store, we went to Santa Cruz for some fun on the beach and to see the monarch butterfly migration. Everyone had fun at the beach playing in the sand, avoiding the water, and playing follow the leader.
Luke was a bucket head Transformer who made a cake pie. Elena made tea and squished sand buildings her mom made.
The weather was fantastic! The sun was nice and warm and it wasn't too windy. The surfers seemed to be having a great time. As the tide came in, we collected all the sand toys and created a cake sculpture. Impressive!

Happy cousins enjoying chocolate chip cookies.
Since we saw the butterflies after the beach, it was a little cooler and the butterflies weren't as active (the temperature has to be at least 55 degrees for them to fly).
