Santa Cruz

You drive down to Santa Cruz early in the morning to skip out on rush hour traffic. California interstates and highways always have quite a few cars on the road even though the sky is still pink. They are the state that never sleeps. Ahead of you the city of Santa Cruz still has a dark sky above it. I grows lighter and lighter as you get closer and closer. You roll down your window and a fresh, cool breeze blows in. It feels good on your face.
You reach town and immediately go to the beach. The smell of sea water lingers in the air as you get closer to the beach. You park and get out. The views are amazing. You walk along the side walk for a little bit and take some picturea. 
You get back in your vehicle and find a hotel. You get a room and take your stuff up. It is a nice hotel with the typical accommodations. You slip your swimsuit on and slip somemail shorts on. 
You go back to the beach. The blue ocean water is cool to the touch. The sun beats down and keeps the air warm. The sand is grittier than Florida beaches. But it is fun to dig your toes in.
You find a spot to lay down. Eventually you fall asleep.
You head back to the hotel to relax. The warm shower is welcoming. You finish up and watch T.V.
As the night moves in you decide to take a walk to the beach. An evening breeze blows through the streets filling the night with the smell of the sea. You take your sweatshirt from around you waist and put it on.
