The weather was hot today so we did a day trip up to Santa Barbara.  It was a picture perfect day!  We went up to the Douglas Family Preserve first and enjoyed the view.  We even saw a whale in the distance!  Then we spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach. The kids played in the water and the sand.  We found neat seashells and rocks along the beach. Before we headed home we stopped at our favorite restaurant (Brophy Brothers) for a delicious seafood feast.    The kids can’t get enough of the water!
