Kat and I have spent several great weekends in my old town of Santa Cruz. And over the weekend of April 18–19, we went to Santa Cruz Island, off the coast of Southern California. We got in some great hiking and pretty much had the island to ourselves on Sunday.
We’ve also decided to make it a travel goal to see as many of the Santa Cruz’s in the world as we can. It’s rather a long list, but here are my choices so far:
- Santa Cruz Province (Argentina)
- Santa Cruz, Chile
- Santa Cruz Island (Galápagos)
- Santa Cruz, Trinidad and Tobago
- Santa Cruz, New Mexico
- Santa Cruz County, Arizona Never mind, we’ll find another Santa Cruz to spend our money in.
