Both Sean and I had never been to Santa Barbara and we were both super impressed with how quaint it was. We parked downtown and walked the streets, picked a random cafe to eat at, splurged at a candy store, took in the views from the courthouse tower and took a stroll around Shoreline Park. Bentley was very well behaved (she slept through pretty much all of it) and we talked about how we wanted to come back for a weekend getaway since there was still so much more we wanted to see.

| A trip to a beach city is not complete without some salt water taffy. |
| One of many super cute theaters along State Street. |
| Of course I had to find the cool history of the area! |
| Must see for those visiting Santa Barbara! |
