Santa Barbara Trip

I spent the past two days in Santa Barbara. At the last minute on Thursday I felt a need to take a day trip and get out of town. I convinced my friend Michael to come along and we decided to drive up to Santa Barbara. We arrived in town around 4:00 PM and began looking for a cheap motel. We got a place near the beach called the Pacific Crest. We then went and checked out downtown Santa Barbara on State Street and the night life there. Apparantly Thursday night is "College Night" and we were about 10 years older than everyone one else out on State Street. We had fun regardless. The next day we took a 2 hour whale watching tour. We didn't see any whales, but saw a few dolphins and enjoyed the serenity of boating down the California coast on the "Double Dolphin" from the Santa Barbara Sailing Center. We both got sunburned pretty bad though. We arrived back in town to Los Angeles around 6:00 PM on Friday night. Santa Barbara is a beautiful city and it was great to get a change of scenery for a couple of days.
