Santa Barbara Eat

Posted byLori Posted onJune 16, 2010 Comments6

Could I have taken any more time of from my poor neglected blog since this weekend?? Maybe, but I’m back now! It’s been a busy couple of days. Over the weekend I visited lovely Santa Barbara to see my little sister graduate from UC Santa Barbara and helped her move out of her seriously disgusting house there.

I got back from that trip on Monday and was busy setting up meetings and interviews for my new business– which, by the way is going fantastic!- and was unable to get to a computer long enough to write a blog post. My apologies. Busy, busy, busy, as I’m sure all of you are. But whilst on my little vacation from reality, as Katie has put it, I did do some eating (duh, that’s the best part!) and family-time-making. Behold…

Besides eat and take pictures, I ran along the ocean, shopped a little, and relaxed.  It was fun… minus the long drive back home.  😉

The End for today.
