I had a freakin rock star weekend. It started in the morning when I went to the AT&T ProAm Golf Tournament in Pebble Beach. Celebrities (Bill Murray and Josh Duhamel to name a few), professional athletes (like Kelly Slater- eeek!), and PGA golfers came together to play three days of golf in the name of charity. Just to walk around the iconic greens that overlook the picturesque ocean was a dream come true.
Then later on that day we headed to Santa Cruz to check out music and record stores.

| I snapped this photo of a famous musician rocking out in the middle of the store. Another awesome moment. |
And walked around the streets popping in and out of shops and discovering new places.
No trip to Santa Cruz would be complete without a trip to the beach. Just down the street from The Boardwalk, there's a lookout point with a small lighthouse and a strip of rocky land.
That night we headed back to Marina and ate at one of the best restaurants in the area: Francisco's. I promise you, you'll love it. It's an Italian/Mexican restaurant. Weird, I know, but everything there was amazing.

Stay tuned, my peeps. It's gonna get freaking gorgeous on this blog.

all of these SC pics are just gorgeous!
That meal looks ridiculously delicious. The next time you see Josh (Duhamel)tell him Heather says hi. If he asks. Which he might. Just say, the Heather you're supposed to marry, back in Texas.
Then snap a pic and run away. It'll be great :)
@Heather K.- Hahaha! Oh, I will!
I agree with Alexa- your pictures are making me miss California so much! I lived there for two years & most of my family lives there. I could use a good beach day!
always, koru kate

Looks like the perfect day to me! I've never been to CA but these photos make me want to visit even more.
Yup, that sounds like a perfect day to me!!! Also, I LOVE the Gaslight Anthem. Good choice!!! x
