B is for Bonny Doon
There are two things I love more than anything else in this world. The beach, and a good glass of wine (I pray Viva never reads this). When I can enjoy the two at the same time, there isn't anything in this world that can get to me. This brings me to the little piece of heaven-on-earth that is Bonny Doon.
Head North of Santa Cruz on HWY 1. Turn left, and you are at this fabulous little secluded beach (of course, you may have to put up with some nude sunbathers but it's a big enough beach to share) . Turn right and after a scenic drive in the hills, you arrive at Bonny Doon Vineyards, an eccentric, quirky little tasting room that really gives you the bang for the buck.
Literally, some of the best days of my life were spent with a bottle of Ca'del Solo on that beach. It was one of the first places I went when I moved to Santa Cruz. Upon its sand I have danced in the dark, laid on my back and looked at the sky, knit a whole lot, drank many a' bottles of wine, dined on picnics fit for kings, and had conversations that changed my life. It is one of the last places I went before I left the Bay Area.
I'd tell you where it is, but then I might have to share. If you do find it, and see a girl with long dark hair doing cartwheels in the waves, you found me. Come play!

I would come and play, but you'd have to bring the drunken goat...

I've been to Bonny Doon, and I will keep the secret safe too. ;)
Hmmm....nude nudes? How could you keep from laughing after having a glass or two?
I think I actually took that picture.
No, that photo was taken on my camera 6 weeks ago.
My bad. Unfortunately the external hard drive I was using to store all my pictures failed. I lost all of my pictures going back like five years. Some of my favorites were from Bonny Doon :(
