Another beautiful beach day in Santa Cruz, so we decided to head to the beach in Capitola, a town adjacent to Santa Cruz. Quite a few people on the beach but not nearly as many as in Southern California.
Here's Bill and me:
And here if the family gang:
After walking on the beach for awhile, we figured we deserved some ice cream. My sister had discovered a nearby cafe called Cafe Violette. Our Mom was named Violette (spelled like that), so we thought it appropriate for us to pay a visit. Oh! The ice cream was good too!
In searching for Cafe Violette's link, I discovered that the UK has a place by the same name, and it looks lovely! Another place to visit if I get back there!
There was a car show being held right by the cafe, and this was my favorite car:

Hi Nancy,
Beautiful Beach. Hope you are both having a great time. By the title of your blog can I assume that you know your wines? If so can you suggest a red wine that might taste good. I really dislike wine but I have been told that a red wine is good for the blood. Do you know if that is true?

Hi Nancy, looks like you are having a wonderful time and enjoying some nice weather up north. I'm glad that you're having a fun time visiting your sister. I enjoyed looking at all of your photos. And how cool that there is a Cafe with the same name as your mom, Violette.
Thanks so much for sharing. Safe travels.
