Santa Barbara or bust

A few days after we got to California we planned to drive to Santa Barbara to see some friends.  It’s a four hour drive so I was a little nervous about Miral, who had been a little fussy on our one hour drives in Hawaii.  But we really wanted to see our friends so we headed out.  In case you were wondering what four hours with three kids in a minivan looks like here you go.

In the end my fears were unfounded and all three kids did great the entire drive down.  We arrived late Friday night and our friend Laith had smoked a huge delicious piece of meat and his mom, whose house we all stayed at, had made a feast for us!  It was hard to see the neighborhood at night, but the next morning I went for a run and was greeted by these views.  Oh California, you never disappoint.
