long beach girls weekend

i spent a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend with my long beach girls at the beach house in aptos.  we were sadly missing two of the bunch, but were able to welcome the second generation with sarah's daughter, winnie.  so many good times, and i can't wait for our next gathering.  

don jose's chips & salsa made an appearance, much to patty's delight.

a perfect day at the boardwalk in santa cruz

go to lunch, see a mariachi band randomly perform.
also, o.d.'s kitchen is *amazing.*  if you are looking
for a good place to eat in gilroy, check them out.  seriously.

winnie was our photographer for the group shots.
she did an amazing job (seriously, every single photo she took
turned out great.  kid has skills.)

yet another winnie masterpiece.  

winnie finally gets to be in a photo!

cuddle sessions abound

also, a guest appearance by "the hoff."
