My husband and I brought our oldest daughter, our son-in-law and two grandsons (24 &26) from Washington, our youngest son from Texas and our youngest daughter, son-in-law and grandson (6) who live near us in San Jose to Santa Cruz. We went to the Wharf, the beach, the Boardwalk, the Mystery Spot and a strawberry farm. we had two BBQs. All three of our grandsons loved the large backyard. The hot tub was popular. Two of our grandsons played guitar and one of our sons played b. drums. The house had a large kitchen, dining room, living room and backyard. We had a great time!
