Santa Barbara

     For Presidents Day Geoff had a long weekend, so we decided to take a road trip.  We wanted to try out the Amtrak, so we hopped on and went to Santa Barbara for the weekend.  It was nice to not to have to drive through LA traffic and we got to see some good views.  Geoff enjoyed not having to drive and getting to zone out and look around.  I was loving the reading time and people watching!!  There are some interesting people in the train!  It was a comfortable, quiet, and smooth ride.
     In Santa Barbara, we walked around, shopped, and ate.

     This weekend we tried out a restaurant from Diners Drive Ins and Dives.  It was a hamburger place in Ocean Beach called Hodad's.  The owner was big friends with Guy from the show.  He recently has passed away and we just had to see if this burger was really that good.  When we got there, the line was crazy long!  Geoff asked if I wanted to wait, and I'm like I'm already here sure why not.  Usually in San Diego the weather is really nice, but of course its windy and chilly this weekend.  Wasn't fun standing out waiting in that, but the wait went fairly quickly.  The food was good, but I don't know its a burger!

  1. Smart move to skip the drive across LA! I've only driven through Santa Barbara. Sounds like a fun weekend. Definitely challenging as a Texan to plan a weekend without a car. San Francisco is about the only place in California I've gone a weekend without a car. Glad to see you back on the blog!!
