Anyone that knows us well, knows that we love going on vacation. It can be a 2 day trip or a 3 week trip, we just love escaping reality and bonding together.
This year the kids had 2 full weeks out of school for the holidays. Some of you may moan at this, I get giddy with excitement and start planning.
We stayed in St. George the week of Christmas, there are so many things going on, fun family traditions that the kids do not want to miss out on. But the week of new years, we were out of here.
Sean brought home the RV and we loaded her up. I love this hillbilly side of our family. We just love being "on the road again!" I can just hear Willie Nelson singing this.
We headed to our most favorite spot --- Santa Barbara, California. What is not to love about this quaint oceanside town. We explore parks, the local zoo, walk out on the pier late at night when it's really foggy and this trip we went and explored the Santa Barbara Mission. I think I should have been raised Catholic because I just love all the crosses and decor of the Catholic churches. Would anyone really be offended if I had a huge wooden cross in my entryway???
Our 2nd favorite spot is 30 miles north of Santa Barbara. It is a small danish community called Solvang. Cutest town ever. It was in the movie "Sideways". We spent an entire day here shopping in the shops along main street.
We seem to head to Santa Barbara 2 to 3 times a year, we love it so much.
