Well, summer's pretty much over. It was a great one...even if it was gone in the blink of an eye. Of course, it's not really gone here in Texas. We still have several weeks of summer weather left, but school's back in session and we're returning to our routines. That's really the definition of the end of summer, isn't it?
Anyway, as an Ode to Summer, I thought I'd share a Jake's-eye view of how we spent our summer vacation. All these pictures were taken by Jake and I swear I didn't altar them in any way other than to reduce their size so they were suitable for sharing on the web. Am I just a proud Momma, or does this kid have talent?
Berry picking on the way from Monterey to Santa Cruz. Even Denise (who doesn't eat fruit at all) thought they tasted pretty good.
Santa Cruz was like a little bit of heaven -- even if the hills were burning. Surfers...
cruisers...
skaters...
games of chance.
A beach bag...
a bucket...
and a surf-side sweetie.
Butterflies...
...and old friends at Gilroy Gardens. (Sorry Disney, this is truly the "happiest place on earth".)
Blue from a distance...
Zoe up close and personal. 
Dining al fresco in Jack London Square.
Colorful windows... 
...and walls in Capitola.
Breakfast with friends at a new location of an old South Bay institution (Flames).On a final note...those of you who might be looking for birthday ideas for Jake, does this post give you any hints? Let's see...anything related to skateboards, surfing, biking, photography (I'm thinking this is the year for a decent camera for him.) Of course, the old favorites are still in play too, so you can't go wrong with football, race cars or the color yellow.
