This week we went on vacation to Santa Barbara.
We did so much fun stuff.
DAY ONE
Our first stop was Westmont College to visit Bianca. It was so nice to see her. She gave us a tour of her new school.

It was so beautiful there

The gardens

This is the church from
A Walk to Remember
After we left Westmont we went to Starbucks and then to our hotel. After resting for a little while we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, then we walked up and down State Street.
DAY TWO
We went to Sambo's to breakfast, and it really didn't seem racist! It was amazingly good. We had the Santa Barbara Omelet (egg, cheddar, bacon, and avacado). Then we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo.

Tropical Birds


When Emma saw the lemur she started yelling, "Hi Zaboo!" That is the name of the Lemur in her favorite morning show
Zaboomafoo. She was so excited to see him!!!

The elephant

The turtles

The train that didn't work

Smiley Miley

Miley and daddy.

We got to see him eat

The gorilla

We told Emma that she came from monkeys.
Just kidding.

She thought the gorilla next to her was a penguin. We said, "No, it's a gorilla." She said, "It's a PENGUIN, named Peep."

Beautiful Snow Leopard

The Lion was right there, BAM!

Dustin and the Lion

Emma and Mufasa

ROAR!!!!
okay, he was really just yawning.

After the zoo, we went to lunch. When Emma went to the little girl's room, dad made friends with another guy in the restaruant. The guy was wearing a nice shirt and tie, and he was talking to Emma. She looked at him and said, "Are you a doctor?" It was SOOO funny!!!
Then we drove around while the girls napped. We passed the mission and then went all through the hills and looked at mansions.

Beautiful

The beach

State street

When we got back to the hotel we went swimming.



Miley didn't want to get her hair wet.

I thought he was going to make a silly face.

We went to Ruby's for Dinner. Emma's Menu was a car.

Daddy and Miley

Emma took a picture of Daddy and Miley. She really thinks it came out, but as you can see it is really Mustard and Ketchup.
DAY THREE
We got coffee and muffins at The Daily Grind, and walked State Street. Emma got a cool microphone toy. Then we went to the Mission for a tour, but didn't get very far.

It would be a nice view on a sunny day. You can see the ocean in the background.

I promise I saw Jack Johnson, while Dustin was shopping.

We went to The Habit for Lunch. BEST BURGERS EVER.

Befor and After

Then we came home. It was a horrible 4 hour car ride, but we made it.
Now we really need to take a vacation.
