On a cloudy day my family and I went to Santa Cruz, to see Monarch butterflies and see other fun stuff to do. It all started when we drove to Santa Cruz and parked in a parking lot full of cars. Then we went out side and saw the view of the ocean. After that we went back to the car and drove to another parking lot and parked there. We got out of the car and walked on the road until we reached a hike. We walked on the hike until I saw a map. The hikes name was Monarch trail. On the map all of us saw that we had to walk a little further to reach the Monarch butterflies visitor center. My dad looked and learned cool stuff about butterflies. After that went on a trail. We walked on the trail until we reached the place where the butterflies live. But there were no butterflies there. So we went back to the car, got in and drove to the lighthouse and we also parked there. At the lighthouse we saw people surfing. They were insane. Then we walked on a trail and got to see all the butterflies.

 

After that we all drove to see the animals of the sea. We saw anemones and moving 🐚s.

 

After that we walked back to the car and drove home. The end.
