Downtown in Santa Barbara

One day we decided to go visit downtown. We took a trolley to the pier.  Gabriela was so excited to take public transportation. We used to ride the metro and bus all the time in DC. This was probably our first ride since then, and extra fun because Claire and Natalie were along too.

 

This is what we saw when we got there.  Santa Barbara life is really rough.   

 

We all walked to the end of the pier together. 

 

Then we took some pictures at the end of the pier.  We love this sweet Grover family.

At the end of the pier, we boarded a little water taxi and rode around in the ocean.  Gabriela was very excited.

 

Here's our little sailor steering the boat.  Gabriela enjoyed it so much she had two turns!!!

Noal took this picture, which is why he's not in it.

 

Natalie loves to snuggle up to her Uncle Noal

 After a delicious lunch down on State Street, we went out for ginormous frozen yogurts.  Gabriela couldn't believe how big this bite was! 

When we got home, Lane and Auntie Adie took the girls to visit the neighbor and feed him a little snack.

As if this weren't an eventful enough day, we all went swimming at the pool when we got back.  It was a perfect way to spend our Saturday.
