Santa Barbara Day Out

Hot at home, gorgeous at the beach!

We took our bikes to Montecito on Sunday, and Rigo and Colleen met us there. We all rode along the bike trail, past the zoo across the lagoon (pictured here), and along the bike path on the beach.

 Cora introduced Lucas and Liana to her favorite climbing tree.

 The kids created a Wings of Fire dragon role play and had creative fun with it.

It felt so good to be out! We got a snack of Japanese food, and then roe back along the beach, stopping along the way for more playtime.

Suddenly, it was 7, and we were needing to find dinner. Staying light later tricked us!

Ventura and Santa Barbara counties have begun allowing restaurants to serve dine-in customers again, but not all are doing so yet. We actually had trouble finding a place open so late on Sunday, too.

We ended up finding a Mexican place in Carpinteria, with no tables set up inside, but a couple outside. It worked!

We had a great day together. One thing about the stay-at-home order, it has helped us to appreciate seeing friends again.
