Sunny California!

Yesterday was such a beautiful, warm day! Scott had the day off so we headed to Santa Cruz, where it was in the 70's!! As Scott and I joke, "This is why we pay the big buck to live in California." You just can't beat this gorgeous November weather!

It was a magical day on the coast. The Monarch butterflies are in town and were flitting their orange and black wings about everywhere. Here they are clustered together and hanging on the tree branches. They look like orange leaves!
There was also a surf contest going on, The Cold Water Classic. Kekoa was a big hit at the contest, getting oohs and aahs from all kinds of people.

Here is Kekoa in the Bob stroller. It is his first time in the stroller without being in the car seat too! He is no big enough to just be in the stroller all by himself! He is getting so big!

We ended our day in downtown Santa Cruz, at our favorite Greek restaurant, The Greek. The man who owns and cooks there, is Vasili. He is a white bearded Greek man who is so cute. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with all kinds of Greek artwork and pictures of Greek gods, all of it done by Vasili himself. I have a secret crush on Vasili! :) Scott and I went to The Greek all the time when I was pregnant. This was our first time back, since having Kekoa. Vasili "blessed" Kekoa with a kiss and just loved holding him. He is such a sweet man and bought us our lunch, didn't let us pay...wanted us to buy something for Kekoa!

The Greek...notice the "statues" on the roof top!

The man himself...Vasili.
