Travels: Ventura, CA to Santa Cruz, CA – 305 miles Accommodations: Seacliff State Beach; overflow; no hookups
Today was a fairly long travel day, but the kids did great. We stopped at a sweet little park in Templeton and let the kids run around and play at the playground. We arrived in Santa Cruz around 6:30pm. We were planning on camping at New Brighton State Park, but it was full. So ended up at our Seacliff site at 7:20pm, just outside of Santa Cruz in Capitola for a whopping $55 without hook-ups. It was camping on asphalt piled into a parking lot BUT it was right on the boardwalk with nothing obstructing your view of the ocean and an old pier with a wrecked ship at the end.
After settling in and eating a quick sandwich dinner, Dave’s cousin Bekah (who lives in Capitola) came to hang out. We were able to catch up on life-happenings, which was nice. Tired we hit the sack ready for another day of driving.
