We went straight from the plane to Santa Monica where we enjoyed catching up and doing things like long romantic walks along the beach.
Thursday afternoon, after a bit of an afternoon nap, we went down to my favourite wine bar on Stern's Wharf to enjoy a cold bevvie.
Friday we spent the day out and about in Santa Barbara, checking out all the local attractions.
The Courthouse where you can get 360 degree views of SB is a great place to start.
(Maybe these two photos should be combined... please keep off the ladies?)
We walked through La Arcada checking out the turtles in the pond, and all the bronze statues.
And arrived out at Santa Cruz island which was surrounded by fog, which thankfully mostly cleared.
After lunch we had pleanty of time to walk around the island and see where we had paddled.
For lunch we went to Brophy Bros. down on the Harbor. Everyone tells me constantly that I must go there and have thier clam chowder... of course I don't do seafood, so Murray had the honors of trying thier clam chowder and was very impressed.
Friday afternoon we went for a bike ride about town and stopped in at my work - where the golden tickets had arrived! We have one very happy Murray here with courtside tickets to Boston.
Friday night we took some drinks down to Hendry's beach to watch the sunset.
On Saturday it was our 6 year anniversary! YIKES! To celebrate we thought we'd try to drown ourselves by doing some Kayaking out at the Channel Islands.
The boat left early in the morning from Ventura Harbour.
And arrived out at Santa Cruz island which was surrounded by fog, which thankfully mostly cleared.
The Kyaking is not quite as peacefull as it looks. Or perhaps we just got a bad day. But we paddled out to the rock in the middle there which is covered in 'pelican snow' and into a cave there. There were also some other caves that we see further behind where I am standing.
After lunch we had pleanty of time to walk around the island and see where we had paddled.
And here is Murray with our guide (who manage to get tiped over by a swell inside a cave! We thankfully stayed dry.)
