Hiking + Beach = Best Sunday Ever

In addition to hiking Castle Rock {see here} the next weekend Brett and I ventured over to Santa Cruz and the UCSC campus because they are also known to have a lot of great hiking trails. We arrived a little later in the afternoon and began hiking. Neither of us have been here before so we just decided on one of the loops and went for it. We hiked for a couple of hours and went through the forest and up to this great lookout point where we could see down miles and miles of the beautiful ocean coast line. As the afternoon went on, the temperature just kept rising and rising. As we made our way back down the trail it was decided that we needed to get beach side. Along with the rest of the entire bay area we headed over to the beach. It was just the perfect day, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon it was still 80 degrees with bright sunshine and hardly any clouds to be seen and it's the beginning of March people! I will let the rest of the pictures speak for themselves, but all in all it was one of the best Sunday's I've had in a long time.
