Our Very Own "Staycation"

Every

doing it--

the Staycation! A vacation without leaving home. We took a day trip to the Santa Barbara area on Saturday. We wanted to check out the beach town while we are out in Cali and also wanted to visit a couple wineries. We went to Cambria because we love their Chardonnay. They didn't disappoint. We got 2 glasses with our tasting, Mike got a commemorative magnet (it was our first winery ever...not counting the Missouri ones...Mike "doesn't count those"), and bought 2 bottles. Then it was recommended that we got to the Kenneth Volk winery. That man can make some wine. We bought 3 bottles her and now that we are home feel as though we should have bought more! It's so tasty.

Then we ventured back into town to see what Santa Barbara is all about. It's a nice little beach town. It's only an hour away from where we live, so a nice weekend get-away. Very old town. We visited the Courthouse that was built in 1928 (after the previous one was destroyed in the 1925 earthquake) and the Mission (even older...like originally built in the 1700's or something like that). It's a really cute town and if we decide we need a weekend get-away we might head back.
