Santa Barbara
We recently drove down to Santa Barbara to visit our friends, the Gardners. We had never been in that part of the country before and it sure is purdy. Citrus orchards abound, things are pretty green. The mountainous Santa Barbara terrain contrasts nicely with the deep blue Pacific. The hillsides are covered with prime oceanview lots....we think we want one. I didn't realize there were so many off shore oil drilling platforms along the coast... gee whiz hmmm, anyway. We had a lot of fun out there. We did some campfire cookin', caught some frogs and let the kids get their feet wet in the ocean (first time for Emma, Max and Tessa) and we visited the small Danish enclave of Slovang (north of Santa Barbara), which was a lot of fun. The human powered, 6 person quadracycles were a hoot, I'm still feeling the burn. Tessa loved her perch on the front basket. We had a great time and had fun seeing Brian, Taryn, Kenna and Taylor.
