So I drove up from San Diego, through L.A. where I visited my wonderful aunt in Santa Monica, up to the golden shores of Santa Barbara California. With the Jacaranda trees in their full, purple bloom, and the weather hovering somewhere between perfect and just right, I spent a few days with my aunt and uncle. Of course we hit up all the greatest restaurants:
China Pavillion for Dim Sum,
Toma, Enterprise Fish House, Los Agaves, Garrets for their blueberry pancakes,
Three Pickles... The wonderful meals, the great company, and the relaxation that just soaks into you when you're in Santa Barbara have helped me think I'm finally ready to head back to Las Vegas. Once I get there, its busy time as I prepare for my ultra backpacking trip. I can't wait to get my gear all tested out and my final arrangements made... its all so exciting!
