Our trip to Santa Barbara was cut short due to each of us flying to Yakima to look at and subsequently purchase a house. So, even though we spent our 4th Anniversary apart, we now had a place to live when we arrived in Yakima. Kristen flew into Santa Barbara on October 30th and we celebrated our anniversary by grilling tri-tip over the campfire and finally drinking that magnum of wine that our Seattle friends gave us at an ENGAGEMENT party 5 years ago. It was a great anniverary celebration and what we saw of Santa Barbara was great, although a little Hollywood for our liking. We’re adding Santa Barbara to our list of places we wish we’d seen more of.
From SB, we drove up the coast and stayed in a couple little beach towns–Pismo Beach and Morro Bay. Probably wouldn’t visit either of them again, but they did have amazing sunsets.
