Wild Weather Weekend

Travis and I went to Santa Cruz this weekend and experienced the craziest range of weather.  Friday the high was 100.  It cooled all the way down to 82 during the night (felt like we had never left Turlock!)  Saturday we woke up much too early (5am) and decided to take the dogs on a sunrise walk.  The moon was still out and bright as can be. It was beautiful!  There was a slight layer of smoke from the Watsonville fires, but the sunrise was gorgeous.  The dogs loved it, of course.The few fluffy clouds soon turned to heavy, dark clouds that produced a spectacular display of lightning and thunder.  By evening, it cooled off so much that we had to put sweaters on.  Sunday morning we woke up to "normal" Santa Cruz weather- cool and breezy. We enjoyed our first weekend in a looooong time without an itinerary, and we're already planning our next getaway.
