SANTA BARBARA, CA

We did a quick overnight and 1/2 day in Santa Barbara (SB) en route to LA. This was an unplanned stop as we had planned to stop in San Luis Obispo but decided to forge onto SB so we would have a shorter drive to LA the next day. We had a gorgeous drive all the way from Carmel and the sunset as we passed Pismo Beach was unbelievable (unfortunately no pics as I was the one driving!) We arrived in SB around 9pm and were lucky to book a fabulous hotel right by the harbor so you know who could jump on his jet ski in the AM before we headed onto LA. We had a great dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Brophy Bros- their famous clam chowder & salad. After a great night of sleep we spent most of the day in SB as the weather was gorgeous and in the 80s- last time we went to SB for 4 days it rained the WHOLE time so we really wanted to take advantage of it. While Michael rode the jet ski all over, I walked throughout the beach, harbor, and Stearns Wharf (some much needed calorie burning!) We grabbed lunch to go and headed out for LA around 2pm so we really enjoyed the day in SB!

Quick stop in Paso Robles en route to SB!
