Santa Barbara Day Trip

Let's work our way backwards in this photo trip, shall we? On Saturday we met up with Christie, Carter and Bob in Santa Barbara, our visit ended with a mid-afternoon snack of cupcakes in the park. As we drove away from the park and said our goodbyes, Anna did shed a few tears.


Crushcakes is a new establishment in town, featuring "scratch made gourmet cupcakes". Our favorite flavors included lemon drop, strawberry blush, and peanut butter cup.


It was Carter's spring break, and they were in town to visit Bob's relatives. Christie, Carter and Bob brought various kites to fly on this perfectly slightly-windy day, including a couple of stunt kites which had dual-lines to control movement.


Anna was perfectly happy flying this rainbow kite that flew up and stayed up in the air quite easily.


We met up at near the beach, it was a fun walk over to the pier. We had lunch at Longboards, a very kid-friendly eatery with tasty food.


It was a quick two-hour drive to get to Santa Barbara. The ocean, the view, so inviting. We knew we would have a lot of fun.
