My husband and I are about to move back to California this November, as he is getting out of the Air Force. I am originally from Fremont, got my degree at UCD, but we are looking to relocate in Santa Cruz.

I would love to know more about the town, especially the great local spots to check out. Right now we are in the Dayton, OH area and are surrounded by close mindedness and coroporate everything.

We are both laid back, open minded, dog loving (no kids yet) and love some good mexican & margaritas, laid back bars with good beer selection, live music, and vegetarian food options.

Any advice or thoughts you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Take care!
