Sunset Sailboat Trip







For our one year wedding anniversary, we did something we've wanted to do for a long time: we took a sunset sailboat trip in Santa Cruz. We'd done something similar a couple of years ago on our one year dating anniversary: we'd taken a catamaran on Lake Tahoe at sunset. It was such an incredible experience that we'd wanted to get back out on the water ever since. We finally got the chance this past weekend in Santa Cruz. We saw pelicans, sea otters, seagulls, seals, and lots of other sea birds. It was a wonderful way to celebrate one year of marriage.
