The Lord has given Tu and I a love trying new things and exploring new adventures. Here is the Valentine Adventure the Lord allowed us to go on this last weekend.
WOW! What a wonderful weekend! Tu and I were able to spend some time together this weekend as my mom came and offered her loving care for the kids. Of course we had to take Jaylin as she is still so little and depended on mommy :), but we had a great time!
This was our first time to Santa Cruz and it was a wonderful blessing! Tu surprised me with the location and he selected a beautiful spot near the water.
Although the weather was not the greatest at first we made the most of it. It rained pretty consistently the first day of our stay, but we bundled up, grabbed our umbrella and headed to find some fun in down town. The Rain didn't damper our day as we walked through the adorable shops, grabbed some hot drinks from a local coffee shop, visited book stores, enjoyed some yummy meals and sweet time talking and enjoying each other. We even saw a movie which was great. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating.
Here are a couple pics of the hotel and the view! Thank you JESUS!
Just look at what he spoke into existence! Truly amazing!
We enjoyed a wonderful morning and view of God's amazing creation as we sipped coffee, had some amazing food and convo, and gazed upon the water. Unbelievable! Isn't God so good!
So this my dears was my very delicious breakfast from the hotel restaurant! This was the best Huevos Rancheros I have ever had in my life! It was by far my favorite treat of the weekend! The hotel restaurant won some type of prize for it! All I know is that if we ever go back to Santa Cruz I would have it again! Probably real healthy too ;) lol, but extremely yummy!
Jaylin and her daddy at breakfast. Arn't they so sweet! As good as my huevos rancheros was... I would take these two for a second over any treat! I love them both to death and praise Jesus for the time I have with them!
The Lord brought the sun out on our last day and we were blessed to be able to walk the peer with no umbrella :) We walked in the early morning had some breakfast on the peer and then walked the cliffs on the other side of the hotel. It was beautiful!!! And if you like to surf Santa Cruz is a great spot for that! We had fun watching the surfers on our walk too.
Here is one of our little stops in down town. It was a great little bistro and if you can believe this Tu's hamburger was only $5.00. That was a steal! Maybe I can use the money we saved to by a new set of earrings as Jaylin stole one of mine that night (missing in the picture) and I didn't discover it until way later. Yep, I was walking and sportin the one earring look. Tu and I just laughed about it. This picture just makes me laugh seeing it! AWE... good times!
We had such a great time talking, eating, laughing, being together and spending the day down town exploring a new place!

And while we were gone Tre and Aaliyah and Nana were having some fun of their own! We were able to join in the fun when we returned with Nana treating the kids to a bounce house, which they LOVED! Nana also bought the kids a hummingbird feeder which they put up in the back yard. They LOVED spending time with their Nana. It was such a blessing! THanks mom for your amazing heart to serve and bless us! Your selflessness was a true blessing to us!
They were so excited about their hummingbird feeder! Go Nana!
And here is a pic of my mom and I! I just love her to so much! Our time together is such a blessing and I love when she comes and we get her to ourselves! My wonderful hubby let us go shopping and have a girls time the night before she left! It was short but so sweet! I love when she gets to come! Thanks mom! Love you so much!
Overall an amazing weekend that we thank the Lord Jesus for! We know He is the one who gives us these opportunities to love on each other and we are so thankful!
Blessings and thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed week!
