Santa Barbara

A couple weekends ago, it was N's parents' turn to visit us in LA (which is how we all ended up on the Tonight Show). We also took a great drive up the Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu, Oxnard, and Ventura, and stopped several times along the way to check out the various towns/views/beaches. N's parents rented a convertible while they were here so we drove the whole way with the top down, which was FUN.

We ended up spending the night in Santa Barbara. I had only heard great things about Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara is supposed to have the most beautiful campus out of all the UCs) and it lived up to the hype. It was just really pretty. That's all I can really say. While we were there, we went to the Arroyo Burro State Beach where dogs are allowed off-leash. Not only was it a fantastic dog beach, it was beautiful in its own right. Here's a video of Stewie getting used to the water there (those are my flip-flops I was holding in my hand on the left):
