This was our second trip to Santa Barbara this
year. Have a look at our previous portfolio.
Driving to Santa Barbara
This time we were driving Hwy. 101 in both directions (about
300 miles from San Jose). The area around Paso Robles shows
lovely hills with beautiful oak trees:

In Santa Barbara
One of the most beautiful building
in Santa Barbara is the Court House. The building itself and the
view are worth a visit:
Mission from the Court House Tower
View to the Beach
Part of the Court House
Court House Garden
Casa De La Guerra
One of the highlights was the inside
of Casa De La Guerra (one of the oldest buildings in SB and in
a permanent process of renovation):

The way from San Jose to Santa
Barbara is close to quite a few Missions. We visited three of
them. The Missions
Santa Barbara Mission
Santa Ines in Solvang
Mission Soledad
We most likely will visit Santa
Barbara a couple of times each year and are sure it will be worthwhile
the trip. |
