a weekend of food...

Santa Barbara was just lovely... Josh and I arrived and were able to stop in to see Miss Leslie and Molly (two of SB's cutest residents) and were able to talk baby gear and such - we then made it to our hotel and while waiting for the Olsens to arrive we took a little walk out on the wharf and took some sunset shots with the new cam... not bad, eh?

Dinner was an SB classic and an Olsen fav - Palazzios. Their garlic balls are worth going for alone.

The next morning we made our way to farmers market to sample the local cuisine and then Linds and I got our nails done while the boys opted for a more manly tobacco shopping for their pipes. Lunch was Fresco's (a SB MUST for Josh and I). Warm goat cheese salad?? Oh man. I'd drive back to SB right now for that!

Post lunch was a baby shower for our friend Sarah (she's due in less than a month!) and then we walked into town for a Los Arroyos dinner where a plethora of topics were covered... Oh Dunsens...

Sunday we slipped in a walk along the beach to East Beach Grill for wheatgerm pancakes before the rain. We then took the trolly into town for some shopping, Habit burgers for lunch, the afternoon at the Natural History Museum, and finally a late dinner at Ca Dario. We shut that place down!!

Monday was POURING cats and dogs so we did a brunch at Jeannine's and then a quick goodbye in the rain - time to drive home safe!! Please notice that each little section of this blog mentions at least one restaurant or food item. We ate our way through Santa Barbara and would do it again in a heartbeat.
