Santa Barbara

Papa and I spent yesterday driving from Tucson to Santa Barbara, an 8 hour + drive.  The reward upon our arrival was quite nice.  The last 20 miles of the trip were along Highway 101,  from Ventura to Santa Barbara, along the coast, at sunset.  Beautiful!

We stayed at The Cheshire Cat B&B.  We woke up this morning and walked down State Street and up Anacapa Street, stopping at the the Santa Barbara County Courthouse to explore.  It is a Spanish Colonial Revival style building completed in 1929.  It is known for its Clock Tower, which we climbed to see the beautiful views, and its Mural Room, that reminded us of the long history of California and its Spanish heritage.  We came back the The Cheshire Cat for breakfast.  A great start to our day!
