Santa Barbara: Lots of Work, Lots of Play

"99% of all content on the Internet is written by 1% of the population" ~CJU Conference
(this is a tidbet of what I learned at the conference I attended)

You may not remember (most of the time my family forgets too) that I work.

My work sent me to a conference - and I packed up Tom and took him with me.

I worked in the day and Tom did..... I don't know - ask him.

Here I am enjoying the beautiful Pacific Ocean and Tom with his look.....

we were so happy to be free from our diet for a couple of days - Tom had the most delicious omlet at this adorable Beach Side Cafe.

Went to the Santa Barbara Farmers Market - so beautiful. I wish I was a good photographer to capture the beautiful fruits & vegetables of southern CA - can you even imagine?? You can't. At least I took a picture of the artichokes in honor of Jan - the Queen of Artichokes.

Went Bike Riding on the Beach Walk (Tom takes the worst pictures)

There's always a trip story when you travel with Tom that he tells everyone once you get back.
Story: We were downtown Santa Barbara when I asked Tom, "How do all these homeless people afford to live here?" haa haa haa - said Tom. I still want to know.

Tom has 2 speeds when he drives and I learned this applies to his biking as well:

1. Fast

2. Slow.....

no in between. Ever.

Thanks to Carlen, Heidi, Branden, Grandma Hollie and Grandma Jan for making this trip possible.

I would not be such a happy person if it wasn't for my "village."

THANK YOU!
