I was so excited about my good friend Betsy coming to visit our new home here in Santa Barbara. It was so good to see her and the entire family - Jared, William and baby Henry. They stayed from Thursday to Monday and we jam packed the entire vacation with lots of kid-friendly activities. The weather was still a bit foggy and gloomy the first day when we hit the beach. But I think the kids still had fun, as did we.
That night we ate dinner at El Torito...very good Mexican food and margaritas! Here are some pictures from after our dinner outside the restaurant and across the street on the beach.
The next day we decided to visit the Santa Barbara Zoo, which was probably my favorite day. The kids loved the animals, train ride and our picnic, but their favorite was the kid park where they got to slide down the hill. We probably should have gone straight to the park instead of leaving this for last. Maybe next time!
On Saturday night we decided to eat close by at Kahuna Grill...they have some great hamburgers and fries! Marley really enjoyed her dinner that night.
And after dinner the kids played with the ball in the courtyard and we all met some new friends.
On Sunday we decided to explore the Sea Center on the Wharf and enjoy some fish & chips on the water. I think the kids were a bit tired that day...we were all ready for naps that afternoon! Here are some of my favorite shots from this adventure.
Petting the sharks!
As the trip came to a close we tried to get some cute shots of the kids together. I love the one where they are all trying to escape. It was a wonderful time and I hope we can do it again one day.
