We packed up the car early Friday morning and headed up the coast to Santa Barbara for the weekend… it was our Father’s Day gift to TJ this year, and was much anticipated, since Santa Barbara is so beautiful in the summer season. We filled our time, spending it outdoors, with some favorite activities (breakfast on the beach and pool time) and some newer activities (a family, electric bike-ride… highly recommend)… and by the end of the day we had two tired little ladies and parents.

When it was time to pack up and head home, we had some tears from little miss because she said she was having so much fun… and the moment we got home TJ was on zillow trying to find properties so we could move (we’re not.)… so I guess you could say it was a successful weekend overall.

And now Monday, along with a full week, are upon us. Time to move back into the swing of life and our regular rhythms and routines.

I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

(A comfy ribbed midi dress for a quick, 2.5 hour drive, up the coast… dress, sandals)

(Night one, headed up to our favorite spot for happy hour and beautiful views… my skirt, my top, girl’s dresses)

(Then back to the room for take-out from one of our favorite Mexican spots, Los arroyos… they have the best pozole and halibut ceviche… highly recommend if you’re in the visiting)

(Then into comfies to relax after the girls went down… pajama set)

(Breakfast at one of our favorite spots: The Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach… beautiful views and good food!)

(It was a gloomy and chilly morning, so wore this linen open knit sweater and my go-to loose fitting jeans… Natalie15 for 15% off sweater)

(Spent the morning at the Sea Center on the pier… it’s small, but cute experiential exhibits for the little ones…)

(Then we rose these electric bikes for an 8.5 mile ride up the coast… the girls had a blast and it was a beautiful way to spend the late morning…)

(Then off to the pool…. and then one crashed… my suit, my skirt, sandals)

(Then headed out to dinner for our last night… my top, jeans, girl’s dresses, TJ’s top)

(Dinner out with kiddos… one on the lap and a simultaneous game of “GO FISH” going on with the other one…)

(One last breakfast at The Boathouse before hitting the road to head home…)

(Until next time Santa Barbara…)
