2 Days in Santa Barbara

January 1, 2010

My parents recently moved up to Santa Barbara, Aaron and I were lucky enough to spend a few days with them this week. I truly believe that there is no place more perfect than Santa Barbara, the weather, the ocean, the scenery… it’s simply perfect. On the drive up I soaked in all of the greenery and the farmlands. I rolled my window down when we hit the coast so I could smell and feel the salty sweet air. We spent much of our time in Santa Barbara breathing in that air while we searched for sea glass and other beach treasures. Our older boys stayed home with Aaron’s parents this trip, so we are looking forward to taking them back for a visit sometime soon. As usual I took tons of pictures to share with you all, enjoy!

    Wow! It looks like Heaven to me and I can see why it would be difficult to leave such a beautiful place. You are lucky to be able to spend time with your Mom & Blake there.
