Christmas in Santa Barbara

This Christmas your mom and I were on our own, and we made a great weekend out of it by exploring Santa Barbara. Again, we had almost no plans and played it by ear, but it became a really magical holiday for us.

The wharf in Santa Barbara was slow for the holiday, but it was also a peaceful way to spend part of the day.
Downtown Santa Barbara. State Street ends right at the ocean where the wharf begins. We basically made our way up and down this road throughout the day.
We can't help but stop and capture a shot of the wildlife wherever we are.
Your mom found some really cute boutiques on State Street to explore and pick up some Christmas gifts.
We treated ourselves to coffee and cupcakes at the renowned Crush Cakery.
In the afternoon the day after Christmas, we stopped in a bar to get lunch. The day became a bit more memorable because I was able to watch the last week of my fantasy football league, where my team kicked butt and won me the championship!
It was a wonderful holiday adventure with your mom.
