A Weekend in Santa Barbara

It was so nice to get away with Christian to celebrate our recent one year anniversary. ย Does this outfit look familiar from Monday’s (and yesterday’s) post? ย We had originally wanted to visit my brother and his family in San Francisco before hitting Napa, but I had some important work meetings I couldn’t miss, so we moved our SF + Napa trip to spring and chose to hit up Santa Barbara and the surrounding vineyards instead.

I didn’t realize it until we had the chance to get away, but it was so nice to spend some quality time with Christian again. ย He works around the clock and the three or four days we have together a month are usually spent with him fighting to stay awake. When we actually had the chance to spend some real time together, I kept telling him I had forgotten how funny he is!

Before we made our way to the resort, we made a quick stop in beautiful Ojai. ย I couldn’t help but want to look for Nora and the Walker family…but sadly couldn’t find them. ย Not even Saul!

A drive into Santa Barbara to eat at one of Julia Child’s favorite spots,ย La Super Rica Tacqueria.

I always save corks from special occasions and write the reason for the champagne celebration on them. It’s such a special keepsake and I have a cork wreath displaying several of our “special corks” for celebrated evenings – you may have seen it on my apartment tour!

Do you have any favorite spots in Santa Barbara or favorite hotels? ย Thanks so much for reading and stay tuned next week for some photos from our visits to tasting rooms and vineyards. ย Don’t forget to enter the Molly Jane Design cowhide cuff giveaway!! XO –

    1. Thank you so much! The cake was actually amazing – we’ve been freezing it one section at a time!! Love that you keep corks too – so fun! Thanks so much for sharing – xo

  5. Such an adorable couple. Thanks for the peek inside your weekend/life…looks like a lovely trip! I’ve never been to Santa Barbara, but I can tell you one of my all time fave hotels, if you ever venture to Colorado — go to Estes Park, Co and stay at The Stanley. AMAZE. They have an awesome, timeless whiskey bar. I believe the hotel opened in 1909, and it retains that old world charm.

    1. You’re the nicest. Thank you so much for the CO recommendation – we definitely want to visit while we’re living out West! The Stanley sounds amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing – XO
