If I Could Be Somewhere Else Right Now

This picture is one that I took in Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is definitely one of my favorite beaches to visit during my free time. It is relatively close, and has a large board walk that includes rides, several shops, haunted houses, and food stands. The funnel cakes with powdered sugar are delicious, and are my favorite food to buy there, second only to the cotton candy dipping dots. The beach itself, although not particularly outstanding in appearance, is usually warm, relaxing, and not too crowded. Occasionally you will be able to find a seashell or starfish that has washed up on shore.  There's no other sensation quite like settling down on the warm sand after an exciting day on the board walk, letting the sun rays fall over you while the breeze plays with your hair and the sound of the ocean echoes in you ears. Santa Cruz is the perfect blend of thrilling and relaxing.
