We had a wonderful day in Santa Barbara.  When you can’t be in Hawaii for your birthday, Santa Barbara comes a close second.  We hung out at the beach and dipped our toes in the cold water.  The kids didn’t seem to mind.  Then we had a wonderful lunch at Brophy Bros. Restaurant.  Before we headed home we walked along the trail at the Douglas Preserve.  We saw a whale which was a huge treat!  Two cutie-pies! Playing in the sand   The Marina where we had lunch. The view from the Douglas Preserve  Love it up here!!
