I celebrated my 41st birthday with trips to two of my favorite places: the beach and the mountains.
The first one was a fluke: Central Valley Christian Academy had its Spring Break earlier than the rest of the schools this year, so we practically had Santa Cruz to ourselves. We managed to find rooms at this inn right across the street from the beach and the boardwalk. The only thing separating us from the sand and surf was a strip of concrete with crossing lights in the middle. How sweet is that?
