such a fun trip!

wow the bff and i had the best trip to santa barbara! we had so much fun, there was honestly never a dull moment.

we packed up our stuff and were so excited to get going....

we had to start off on the right foot so we stopped and had some delicious in n out followed by splash cafe clam chowder once we made it to SLO. and then of course some italian once we were in santa barbara... you know a trip is only as good as the food involved, so we had to do it up right!

these are just pictures of some of the food we had. it was all so good.


most of sunday we did a lot of shopping on state street. i could live in santa barbara. it was so pretty and there were so many cute shops. here are some pictures of my faves....

i am going to figure out how to make those awesome paper flowers, i am determined.

now lets get to talking about the concert. i cannot say enough good things about mumford and sons. they sounded so so good live. like possibly even better than they sound recorded. it was the best concert ever. they played with the tallest man on earth (who was also super awesome). mumford played a lot of songs that are on their album but they also played a lot of new songs that they haven't recorded yet and oh em gee... be still my heart. they were all amazing. and i have a hard time NOT thinking that a lot of their songs are about the Lord. for real. i mean i know they have an f-word in there BUT i feel like there is no way some of the songs are not about Jesus. thoughts??


after the concert we walked back to our car and guess what!? the battery was dead. bleh! we seriously tried to get like 30 different people to help us and NO ONE would. isn't that lame?! i even asked a police car that passed by and they blew us off. phhhh!
so we called sarah's road side assistance for a jump and while we waited this is what we did.

hahahah!! extreme boredom + a camera= immaturity! it was fun. then a random man in a work truck came over and asked us if we needed a jump. finally some help. thank you very much! so then we went for a late night mcdonalds run. disgusting & so so good. it was def a fun night, dead battery included!

ok now i used to work at starbucks and i still love me some bucks... but can i just tell you that it does not compare... not even close to the amazingness of coffee bean & tea leaf. wow i got a earl grey tea latte and i will never be the same. fresno get on it! we need a coffee bean and tea leaf STAT!

and because we could and because it was good we decided to hit splash again on the way home. and let me tell you it never ever disappoints! 


well that was the trip... i wish i could do it all over again.
and if you are still reading wow. this was a long one and full of run on sentences! hah

  4. ok not a fan of food that comes from the sea BUT, SPLASH has the worlds best veggie burger. while my man eats chowder i eat veggie.
    i feel the same about m.f.& s... they MUST be singing about JESUS. even if theres a bad word. we are after all human!
    xxO

  6. I read all the way to the end of this lovely post dear friend. This trip looks WAY fun and makes my desire to go on a weekend road trip even more intense! So glad you had some great R+R with your bff!

  7. totally agree about the mumford lyrics! they are super spiritual, and even though I resisted at first, i'm now deciding to believe that they are singing about God. and if they aren't, it doesn't matter, because they can be spiritual in my own heart, right? thanks SOOOO much for the visuals. ah! how fun. i listened to the album that night and felt *forlorn* the whole time. almost made it worse! glad you had a blast and enjoyed SB. i big time heart SB.

  10. ok, so i just learned about mumford and sons like a week or so ago..... and i thought they were a christian band. then i heard the f bomb. but realized that im christian....and sometimes the fbomb is inevitable. also note: ive never had clam chowder. now i feel sheltered.
