gaviota

I failed to mention that I went exploring last weekend, stopping at Summerland, downtown Santa Barbara, and lastly Gaviota. I sort of had a list of places I wanted to visit and kinda had a plan in mind but I've learned that when I plan things out, they never go accordingly, so I just winged it.

I'd wanted to see the wind caves in Gaviota so after a short visit to Summerland and having enjoyed a bagel + soy iced latte in Santa Barbara, I wiped the sweat off my forehead and busted. I don't think I could ever get tired of driving along the coast.

I wanted to get my drink on and eat pistachios on a weekend, except when I got to the drinking place, the sign said CLOSED. it's ok, I was my own designated driver that day so it wouldn't have been smart anyway. plus, the pistachio place was too far and I was already very hungry.

summerland

a cozy little beach town 6 miles south of santa barbara. I was suprised at how unpopulated the beach was. parking is free and there's a barbeque/picnic area separated from the beach with a hill. oh, and it's cleaaaan!

going back this weekend to bask in the last days of summer before fall arrives. i'll be the one doing cartwheels if any of you also happen to be there. winkemoticon.
