Wedding Venue search continues...

So Case and I headed off to Santa Cruz today....mainly to relax and head back to a couple spots that we visited on the day he proposed. Went back to The Crepe Place for breakfast, which was actually disappointing the second time around.....I think we will try a new place next time.

Earlier I had considered moving over to Santa Cruz because of the weather, being by the beach and all the healthy-ness......but I have changed my mind!!!!

Before heading to our Well Within spa appt, we walked down the main street in Santa Cruz, and I must say.....I was very surprised and creeped out by all the homeless people!! I mean, it was like 10:30 in the morning and they were everywhere, and very blunt and forward about it, not like they were just minding their own business.....they were all up in our business!!!! It just seemed so shady! I was trying to find this art store, and after walking around for a while, we gave up. The atmosphere was so hoboish...is that even a word?

So anyway, after the creepyness and the relaxing time in the spa, we headed to the Sand Rock Farm, which is a B&B in Aptos. Very cute but out of our price range. So we figured that we might be able to drive by one of our other possible choices, even though we knew that we would not be able to have a tour, since they were having a wedding today.

So off we went, trying to find this retreat center in the hills past Corralitos. We were told that it was six miles past the "famous corralitos meat and sausage" place. After climbing through some beautiful, yet windy hills....we start to realize how frickin far away this is......and we are low on gas!!! Do we quit and turn around? Coz god knows if there is a gas station out here in the middle of the redwood forrest. Luckily, we finally found the retreat center.

It just didn't toot my horn. Plus, on the way back down the hill I got car sick! And I never get car sick!!! I mean, I grew up in Pville and drove windy roads for 18 years!!! But this road was just super windy and very bumpy so that didn't help. We don't want our guests coming to the wedding sick. That's just no bueno.

So, two more places to cross off the list. All that is left now are a few wineries and a golf course location. Cross your fingers........hope one of them is a winner!
