Jackie felt pretty good, so we went out to walk around Capitola. Garret was having a blast running around and being the free-spirited kid that he is. (He's 6)
It was GORGEOUS weather down there, just right when it was starting to warm up in Sacramento.
We went to Garret's baseball game and relaxed on the grass.
Jackie took us to her friend's garden that was all deer-proofed. Thus, she had some amazing flowers, vegetables, herbs, and trees. It seems like flowers crave that ocean climate--hard to reproduce up here.
We went out walking for over an hour down the Aptos trail along the ocean. We checked out the cement ship, and got some exercise at the same time.
If we are together, you know we are drinking tea! Especially in that sleepy time of afternoon. Capitola has some great little tea houses/cafes.
We frequented Jackie and Jeff's restaurant- Cafe Rio. We enjoyed a dinner and lunch there. Great seafood and right on the ocean. Check them out if you are going to Monterey, Aptos, Capitola, or Santa Cruz. It is right off of the freeway.
So relaxing for us. We went down to support, help, and be with Jackie, but we also did some relaxing ourselves. These weren't our chairs, but they are cute and inviting.
The Best Western was really nice. Let me re-phrase that. The GROUNDS of the Best Western were really nice. A large coy pond, waterfall, and fountains all around were very peaceful. The 4 young boys under 8 years of age staying next door were not very peaceful however. We switched our room for the second night for a better night's sleep.All in all, we had a great time with Jackie. We felt like we helped, by making dinner, taking Garret for the day, and being there. She helped us more that we helped her. Thinking about you Jackie, and pray that you have a strong recovery.
