We had a great five days in Santa Cruz playing volleyball on the beach, hot tubbing, and body surfing on the waves (once). Volleyball occupied most of our time out on the beach. Kyla's dad (blue shirt) joined us for a few games. At the end of one day, Brian, David, and Andy braved the cold water to catch a wave.
Our evenings were spent playing Boggle and cards after relaxing in the rooftop hot tub, which has a view of the lighthouse and Boardwalk.

The end of our stay came too quickly.
