Chase's graduation

Recently I was able to visit home for a while and see my brother graduate. 

It was great to hang out with Buster.

My lil' bro is all grown up and going off to college soon. It's hard to believe.

After being home for a few days we took a little trip down to Santa Cruz. Buster knew we were leaving so he hid out in the car hoping he could come. We couldn't bring him but he was in good hands ;)

We had some of the best weather that I've ever experienced in Santa Cruz.

I don't know what he's doing but its amusing.

We got to walk around the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

(in the warm california sun)

We stayed in the most luxurious motel I've ever been to.

I've always wanted to see what this place was about and was not disappointed. It was actually pretty mysterious!! Plus I got a smashed penny to add to my dorky collection.

I'm just hanging out with the trees. Luckily we made it out just barely before the fires started burning in the Santa Cruz mountains.
