Santa Barbara, Solvang, San Luis Obispo, Pismo

For spring break 2009, we decided to spend some time on the coast.
Santa Barbara Mission.

Santa Barbara Mission
fun to visit because this is the age the kids are learning all about the missions throughout CA.




The view from Santa Barbara's Courthouse Clock Tower

Back at the hotel- swimming for kids and reading for mom and dad.



We love Indian food!!!  We found a great restaurant downtown.









The next day we drove to the Danish village of Solvang-
such a cute little town & yummy pastries


Old Mission Santa Ines




 Back to Pismo for remainder of week...
Hike to Point San Luis Lighthouse along the Pecho Coast trail.






We woke before sunrise to head out for a day of fishing.  This trip was not as successful as our first time.  Jose and the kids got sick!  I ended up spending the day talking to other fishermen- it was sooo boring and miserable for my three sickies. 



Fourth of July at Pismo-  we walked from our house along the trail then climbed up through the dunes back to the beach.  It's fun to see the crowded beach, everyone camping out their spot to watch the fireworks oat night.




Back to the house for our 4t of July BBQ.
