The three of us wanted to take a long weekend and drive somewhere. We decided we'll take scenic Hwy 1 along the coast and spend 3 nights in Santa Barbara. We'll go to the beach....we'll enjoy the sunny weather and we'll relax!
Well, the weather was awful, but we had a great time. We even cut the trip short since even worse weather was heading in and headed home for a little staycation at home (along with some Giants playoff action, booyah!)
Some highlights:
The drive down was gorgous. We stopped multiple times, watched the fog roll in, the waves when we could see them, did some rock climbing, watch some sea lions mate and fed some cows. All in all an eventful drive. We left at noon and arrived in SB at 8.
Day 1, we headed to Santa Barbara Zoo. Much different than SF Zoo that we've been too a lot. Taylor loved all the birds and the playground the most.
We spent the afternoon roaming State St, enjoying window shopping, some real shopping and froyo at Pinkberry. Taylor gave it two thumbs up! Dinner was at Santa Barbara Brewing Company, which was just OK.
The next day, we woke up, checked out the horrible weather and decided to head back. We stopped and spent a couple of hours in Solvang, the dutch capital of America (or California. Not sure, don't quote me. It was very dutch, windmills and all). Its such a cute town. We enjoyed an amazing breakfast and did more shopping (of course). I also had to pose with the resident cow.
