First of all I have to say, I felt so prepared! Mary Jane sent out a wonderful introductory message that clued me into some very important details. Pay attention! It makes the trip so smooth!
My son was absolutely thrilled when he saw the tree house. After a day of travelling just to get there he was ready to wind down. It was totally worth the travel time and can be best explained by quoting my son's reaction. "OH siiick! That's the tree house! Sweet! Oh my gosh! This is awesome mom!"
Best reaction ever and it was just the beginning of a very memorable stay.
We spent most of our daylight hours exploring the cities and parks nearby. We went horseback riding, to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, hiking in Nisene Marks State Park, and lots more. Every day as the sun started it's descent we both were ready to head back to the tree house, cook, play games, hot tub, and exist in this remarkable place.
Randy did a great job when he built the tree house. It feels as sturdy as my own home. The stained glass make this a true work of art and the personal touches give it a true "home away from home" feel.
I am so glad I found your tree house, Mary Jane. Thank you for letting me and my son stay!
