P L A C E

I highly recommend taking a trip up to Santa Cruz to visit Natural Bridges State Park.  The Park features 65 acres including a eucalyptus grove that is home to migrating Monarch butterflies.  This is the perfect time to see thousands (up to 150,000) Monarch butterflies that have migrated around 2000 miles to escape the cold winters of the North Western United States and Canada.  The butterflies nest within the leaves and at first glance you don’t really see them but something will stir them and thousands will glide across the sky.  I had tears in my eyes the whole time.
