We were up, packed and out of our campsite by 11:30am. There was stop and go traffic heading into Santa Cruz. Maybe because of Easter (Spring) break or is it always this way? We stopped at Seacliff State Beach where they would not allow us to drive through and look and then at New Brighton State Beach where we used the dump station (for free) and perused the campsites there. They have hookups in some of them to our surprise. Then on the far side by the cliffs there are “premium campsites” for an extra charge. These sites have an ocean view but I don’t think they would be good if you had small children. We could not see how steep the drop was after the quaint wooden fence. We headed inland on Hwy 17 and into Santa Clara County where Jeff (our oldest son) was born. It’s been years since I have been in this area. It has grown a lot but still woodsy and lovely along that portion of the narrow Hwy 17. By the time we got to the area around Pleasanton we were hungry and stopped for a Habit Burger. It was around 80 degrees in the parking lot where we stopped. It cooled down quickly after crossing the Martinez Bridge and as we headed toward Napa it was very enjoyable. There was a lot of traffic heading out of Napa Valley but not heading in so we were good. Always good to see Mom. We had a dinner of leftovers but she didn’t mind that. We will sleep well tonight, we are tired even though we didn’t do anything today.
