Hello dear one! Days like this remind me of the olden days!

Sadly, we’ve all seen many small businesses in the area close. Yet,…

What?! It was a wonderful time and most of us behaved ourselves! Thankfully, we split the drive down, in two, staying in Santa Cruz and having a memorable dinner at the Shadowbrook, in Capatola. If you ever get to the area, we highly recommend this gem, first opened in 1947. It’s always good to get home, especially after an eight hour drive! The amazing thing…
