Just returned from our excellent little Christmas getaway. We left right after church on Christmas Day, and have been in a jacuzzi suite at our favorite motel in Santa Cruz, which was so very wonderful. Staying there for two nights at the very off-season rate was our gift to each other. We are somewhat waterlogged, but happy.
The part of the room that isn't a bathtub big enough for two is decorated in vaguely Miami Vice decor, with deep pink crown molding. There's a bad print of an excessively pastel seascape painting over the tub...and, oddly, the exact same print over the bed. I guess they got a deal on them.
We ate very well, and wandered around downtown Santa Cruz in the morning. We walked to the boardwalk towards the evening, and got in a couple of rounds of bumper cars before they closed, and then went to the arcade for Skee-Ball and a bunch of video games from the mid-80s. The boardwalk had a few rides open, but was mostly boarded up, slightly foggy, and pleasantly creepy.
Mostly, though, we just sat in the big tub and read magazines (Mental Floss is my new favorite), had some big conversations and some silly ones, and hung out together.
Gracie is very happy that we're home. She missed us.
