George and his family stayed with us for Thanksgiving this year. Following a huge meal over Varli's house and a restful sleep at ours, we head up to Greyhound Rock beach north of Santa Cruz. George and Ellen haven't been to this beach before, and it's one of our favorites. I'm sure we'll be taking them back there again sometime soon. There were plenty of fun things to keep everyone busy. Climbing on the rocks, mining for crystals, exploring tidepools, and just soaking up the sun.
