S A N T A C R U Z I S L A N D

As a last hoorah to summer, my family and I traveled to Ventura and then over to Santa Cruz Island for an adventure. And let me tell you, it lived up to my hopes and dreams and then some. Simply breathtaking is the only way to describe it.

Ventura

 





 

 Ariel is my favorite princess of all time, ever. ♥

 

 

My momma is a sweetie pie. I had originally begged and begged to go to the Oregon coast but we ran out of time and on a last whim my beautiful momma planned a camping trip to Santa Cruz for us and I love her dearly for that. It was a rad adventure for us all.

Skating & Sunsets are quite the combination.



I adored this boat so much.

This was basically the greatest thing I have ever seen in my whole life. So many birds!

Fun Fact: There are more Stillwater birds than the domesticated chicken.

 

I have really started to embrace my hair. Curls fer lyfe.

 

Santa Cruz Island

 

The snorkeling in Santa Cruz was AMAZING. We went right off the pier and immediately were with schools of fish, sea lions and harbor seals all enjoying their days among the rest of the kelp forest creatures. It was quite the sight to see.

 

 

These little critters were called island foxes and they were little devils! We had to make sure all of our stuff was stored safely or they would steal clothes and all other items they deem interesting. & when we slept under the stars they came and hung out with us.

twas a grand reunion.

 

Let me tell you about this sunset. It was so gorgeous I just stared at it with my mouth open for nearly a half hour. So amazing. We hiked up to the top of Cavern Point and basked in the glory of this earth.

Nature is cool.



  These next photos are all taken on film disposable cameras & I love them.

 

 

 

 

I left my ♥ on Santa Cruz.

 

Someday I will get with a boy who loves adventure as much as me and we will travel there and explore the beauties of planet earth. Until then I will look back on this trip with fond memories.
