Local Love: Around the Bay

It's a rainy day here in Nor Cal, not quite the post Memorial Day weather I was hoping for, but I can't complain much after the amazing weekend I had. Okay one more complaint; I am STILL having major computer problems even after my time at the Genius bar. In any case I put my computer away for the weekend and enjoyed and amazing weekend with Casey. We went to Santa Cruz and stayed at the Dream Inn -- it was awesome. We also managed to go bowling, hit the boardwalk, relax poolside, checked out the Treasure Island Flea market, had a yummy Sunday brunch at Don Pistos (bottomless mimosas + breakfast burritos), and met some friends at an Art & Wine fest. I ended my weekend with reunion with my best friends, one of of who just got back from 6 weeks in Turkey. She brought us back some amazing treats, which I can hopefully share once my computer is back to working....
If you ever hit Santa Cruz, this is the place to stay.

The Hotel was full of color! I loved it.

Room service on the beach is always a favorite of mine.

    Lovely pictures. I especially love the Aquarius sign as that's my birthstone

    Definitely going to have to check out the Dream Inn. I love the Joie de Vivre hotels. Nice little beach getaway for just a quick one hour drive! Thanks!

    Sounds like you are from the bay area! Me too! I live up in Healdsburg. I just went to the city last weekend and had a blast! Except all this rain! What is the deal?!
