Picnic
in Santa Cruz - 7/16/05
It was an unbelievable hot day in San Jose
about 100 degree, by the time we passed summit point the barometer dropped down
consistently, and by the time we reached
Twin Lake State
Beach Park the weather was cold (60+ degree), foggy, and windy. We knew that
Santa Cruz was at least 15 degree cooler than San Jose but we did not expected
the weather to be freezing.

like a fool with my ski jacket on in the middle of summer but it sure
kept me warm |

We were freezing but not the
kids! They move around so much that most of them did not even need a
jacket
