We just got back from another mini vacation. We are exploring California and taking advantage of the free time Brandon has while getting his Master's at NPS. This past weekend we drove down to the Santa Barbara area and met our good friends Keith and Chrissy Schwennesen and their adorable 3 kids. We have not all been together for awhile now so this trip was well overdue. We met at a cabin in the woods by some Lake (I cannot remember the name of it!!) The cabin was what we all needed! We saved money by staying here because we were able to cook our own food instead of going out for every meal. It was great! It was also very relaxing. Even with 5 kids around us, we all talked about how easy going the whole weekend was. We did not have cell phone service where we were and there was no cable. We just had ourselves, kids who played GREAT together, good wine, and games.
On Saturday we decided to venture out and headed to Slovang, a Danish town near Santa Ynez. We walked around and did a little shopping and ate some danish food. The yummiest was the aebleskiver, which is a puffed pancake ball drizzled with rasberry jelly and powdered sugar. The restaurant wasn't the greatest but the food was good. It was a really cool town to walk around and I highly recommend anyone exploring that area. On Sunday before we left, we explored Santa Barbra a little bit and enjoyed a face full of wind and sand (it was extremly windy that day), we ate lunch on the pier and then said our goodbyes. We had such a great time and I cannot wait for the next get together!!
