In and Around Santa Barbara


Santa Claus lives in Santa Barbara!

We had a great time in Santa Barbara this weekend. We stayed at the Inn of the Spanish Garden, which I would highly recommend, and had a fantastic Italian dinner at Olio e Limone. We walked around town, shopped a little (I picked up a bottle of Pasolivo olive oil), and watched a bucketload of Entourage on DVD. We also visited Los Olivos, a little town in the Santa Ynez Valley (where Sideways was filmed), and had a yummy lunch at Los Olivos Cafe.

santa barbara is the best place i've ever lived. the only place where i was 100% happy with my physical environment. there were a couple of summers back around '94-'95 that i was at santa clause lane every single day.

The wife and I love it up there. It's such a perfect place to go up for the day. Sambo's is one of our favorite spots for breakfast (great muffins)

I have family up there and we avoid them, which makes for a nicer trip.
