Day 10 - Santa Barbara, CA


We spent my birthday exploring Santa Barbara!  What a beautiful place to spend the day!  We got there around lunch time and headed to the Bay Roadhouse for a delicious lunch and a birthday margarita! 

Afterwards, we rented a surrey and rode up and down the beach path with the boys! 


We saw a marina full of sailboats, kite surfers, oil rigs off in the distance, house boats, beach bums, sand sculptor, a busy skate park, a very unique bus, a drum circle in the park, beautiful flowers, lifeguard towers!  And, that was just on the beach path surrey ride!

The surrey ride was great exercise for Dan and I.  It’s not easy work hauling this family around – plus you have to add the weight of the surrey too!  We decided to wind down with a walk to Chase Palm Park.  We found a carousel to ride and the shipwreck playground!




After a wonderful and busy day of play, we headed north to Lompoc to sleep for the night.
