PCH Road Trip Day 5 – Santa Barbara to Santa Monica

Hola readers. This is going to be a short post because I am beat and need to get some sleep. Today we started in Santa Barbara where we had lunch with Amy and Emily from Albumesque (fantastic album design shop in SB). After that we hit the road and drove through Summerland and Ventura on our way to Santa Monica. We made good time and got into our hotel early so we relaxed for a bit before heading down to the Santa Monica Pier. We rode the ferris wheel, grabbed a funnel cake, and had some dinner at Mariasol’s at the end of the pier. After we got back from the Pier we changed into more comfortable clothes and then headed a few blocks up to the 3rd street promenade where we grabbed some Pinkberry frozen yogurt (well, I did) and played some pool at Yankee Doodle’s. Overall it was another good day… temps were somewhat normal and the sun was shining. Tomorrow looks to be just as good. Here are a few photos from the day. Enjoy!
