Tuesday evening we cruised down to Santa Cruz to surprise my Grammy for her birthday. We went to a seafood restaurant with Grammy uncle Ted Auntie Nee and cousin Jasmine.
Wednesday was the day we were supposed to be back home. As you have probably noticed, we are 750 miles away. Thanks to Mom, Tamara (my dad’s assistant) and all his clients for patiently waiting for our return. We slept in late as it was a foggy morning. Then we rented a really warm 5/4 wet suit, went to lunch and got hot chocolate! We came home and Ted and Renee went kite surfing with my dad while Grammy and I went to the beach. I boogie boarded while Grammy watched. Then it was time to go in. We cooked dinner and cheered on team USA at the Olympics.
Today we got up early and went surfing. Uncle Ted swam next to me and pushed me into the waves on his long board. I was able to get up a few times. It was super wobbly. 
On one ride I looked over and saw a sea otter playing in the surf too! He was just as cute as Uncle Ted in his flippers.
I made pancakes for Ted as a thank you. Grammy and Auntie Ne went to a farm while my dad, Jazzy and I went to the Boardwalk and rode roller coasters for three hours. 
Thanks Jazzy for being such a great tour guide! After the Boardwalk it was time to hit the beach! I love playing volleyball in the sand and swimming in the ocean. After a while Grammy yelled “FINS.” Three bottle nose dolphins were playing in surf. It was very cool.
Exhausted, we had dinner and went to sleep. Tomorrow we finally start our journey home.
