Back again from Santa Barbara, which has become our summer tradition. It’s not that we aren’t willing to travel anywhere else, it’s just that Santa Barbara is so nice, and so easy–easy to get to, and easy to be in. We got to see friends and family, and we revisited some greatest hits:
- Garrett’s Old Fashion
- McConnell’s Ice Cream
- Taqueria El Bahio
- Chaucer’s Bookstore
- The Santa Barbara Zoo, again and again and again

Although we did need an awful lot of it.





We found a new-to-us restaurant–Kyle’s Kitchen, which each month donates a portion of their proceeds to special needs organizations in the community.
And also makes very tasty burgers.
After years of driving by and saying, “Next time I want to check out that place,” we explored Tri-County Produce.

Of course we went to the beach, again and again and again.
Where Mr. Sandwich made sand castles, and Baguette destroyed them.
And then, on the way home, this happened.
