We got to go and a very spur of the moment trip with Kyle's dad and family to Santa Barbara! It was such a blast! We left Thursday night to go to Auburn and got a very early start on Friday to beat the traffic. We made it in really good time, but we took the worst way through a mountain pass, I was super car sick the whole way.. no fun. But Luke did so well on the drive, we turned his car seat around so he wouldn't be miserable.
The town we stayed in was actually like 30 miles from Santa Barbara it is called Ojai, and it was soo pretty! It reminded us a lot of Auburn. It was so close to the coast, and it was just perfect! We stayed in a little guest house with the whole fam bam in one room, but it was fun. That first night we went to the beach for a couple of hours, and Kyle got to surf again. It's been about 7 years since he last surfed but it was just like ridding a bike. I have a sexy husband.
This is the amazing little stretch of beach just off the highway.
Luke's first time in the sand
Kayla and Katera
Luke absolutely LOVED the water. We had to watch him like a hawk!
But it got a little chilly..

After that we went to get some tacos in Ventura at a food truck. They were sooo delicious!
Mmm first time for me
Luke and Kovlin chowin down on some watermelon!
The next day me, Kyle, Katera, Kayla, and Luke went into Santa Barbara. We didn't get to stay long but just enough to fall in love with it! We wen to a farmers Market and then walked along a pier and went to a couple of surf shops. One called J7 and the owner is a good friend of Kevin's, Kyle's dad. It was a beautiful city and I kinda fell in love with it! Plus Psych is set there so we loved it even more!
On our way to Santa Barbara we came across this lake, which made us love Ojai even more.
The farmers market.. and the brat Katera :)
All of us

Luke wore these sun glasses all day, people could not get enough of him. Everyone we passed made a comment about this cute little guy!
Me and my boy
Luke and his daddy
Love my boys!
After this we headed back into Ventura to go to the beach again. We stayed there until like 9:00.. it was crazy! But so much fun.
Can't get enough of these two!!
The next day was Sunday and we got up went to church, which was lots of fun. They don't get to many young people in their ward, as it is a pretty pricey area to live, so everybody came up to us and asked if we were moving in. It really is one of the only places in California that I would want to live. But then we went back to the beach, and we got to meet up with Rick and Sara who were on their way back home from visiting Erin and Rob.
Papa
Eating a handful of dirt.. Mmmmm

Kinda love this picture of Luke!
Man I am one lucky woman!
We do love the ocean!
The next day we had to leave, we took a different route home, it took longer, but I wasn't sick the whole last hour and a half. We got to stop and Wahoo's fish tacos.. mmm and a really amazing road side fruit and veggie stand with the best oranges ever!!
It was quite a trip!! We already are dreaming about going back!
