Not to be confused with the Bologna Festival, the Begonia Festival is held Labor Day in Capitola, CA.  Capitola recently recieved the “Best Beach Town on the West Coast” award from Sunset Magazine.  I hate to spread that around, because it’s still got it’s quiet moments.

The floats are made from fresh Begonia’s grown locally.

A pretty house on the river decorated for the festival.

My brother’s 3 9-year olds (triplets) came down and they stayed the weekend with their Auntie.  They are wonder kids!
