The last hurrah of the summer was to take a small trip with my little man! We did a condensed version of my trip with my mom over the Labor Day weekend. We really had a great time! It was good to get away. We hadn't been on a trip together in over a year- not even a little weekend get away. We walked a lot! Which of course is always good for the body. We both took our cameras so we competed to find the best shots. I took a lot of artsy photos because I'm looking to take some of the the photos and use them as decor for the house. We started our long weekend in Santa Barbara. We hit a lot of traffic on the way up (as we expected) so we figured it was better to spend that first night someplace a little closer. On Saturday morning we had breakfast at this cute little downtown Bistro where we sat outside. It was still fairly early, so there weren't many people and it really was a lovely way to start the weekend. We walked along downtown for a couple of hours and then made our way to Santa Maria. Lovely weather! And again, it was a beautiful area to visit. We spent some time in downtown San Luis Obispo, Shell Beach, and Avila Beach. Then we had dinner in Pismo. We ate dinner one night at the Far Western Tavern in Guadalupe. This place has a lot of memories. As a little girl, my maternal granfather lived in Lompoc and used to take us to the Far Western for Sunday Breakfast every time we visited. We created new memories to go along with the old ones. The drive home was nice, not too much traffic. We even stopped in Camarrillo to visit the outlet mall there. My husband LOVES to shop- and he had to visit the Nike Factory to buy yet another pair (or two) of footwear! It was hard to come home, but we returned refreshed and regenerated, and we had grown in our appreciation of each other and our marriage.
