I finally met “the little man”… “the gup-tot”. It was about time to make this much needed trip to Santa Barbara. I was also able to squeeze in some of my most favorite things.. actually my perfect day in Santa Barbara: breakfast at Summerland Beach Cafe, beach time at Butterfly Beach, hiking the McMenemy Trail, dinner with friends on State Street, dessert at Longboards, listening to live music on West Beach. I just wish I could have had more time to see more people… must come back again soon.
