Today Jeff’s company threw a great party for all the employees and their families at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. They had BBQ chicken and burgers and all the accompaniments, sodas, beer and wine, entertainment and free rides all day.  We really enjoyed meeting some of his co-workers and spending time together as a family, doing something new and different. We have been to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk several times, but have never ridden the rides.   We all went on many of the rides together and then split up to enjoy different things too, like the arcade games. It made me excited to go and explore Europe together as a family and discover new joys together.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day. And to top it off, when we got home, my mama had made us her special sauce and dinner was magically ready!!  How nice is that?
