Mitch and I made the trek from Santa Cruz back to Irvine. Before we left we had a terrible sesh at Steamers. Mitch decided to take PCH for the first leg of the journey. The scenic route was definitely worth it.

Back Yard BBQ

We went to Costco and bought some Boca Burgers(vegan), weird multigrain pita like buns, and bagels. A little bbq went on in the backyard with some live music flowing out of the jam room. Quite an epic lunch it was. All that was missing was ketchup.
