Since we have no family here in CA, even though we were invited to others homes, we decided to go 'away' for Christmas. At first we had reservations for a BnB but then acquired a new dog so motel it was. La Quinta takes dogs so we stayed downtown Santa Barbara. I ordered half a ham, made some small versions of our usual side dishes and packed them up. We looked like the Clampetts in a Honda Si but whatever...
It was a very artful, pretty town. The staff at La Quinta were friendly, helpful, and patient. Brett was ill for a day and a half so Christmas was low key but still we had fun. A walk to the wharf, a walk with Jenny to the nearest park, and a drive along Hwy 1, some shopping in a few great stores. We had fish n chips at Mac's Fish n Chips and the best Cajun food we've had lately on the way back home. I'll have to look up the name of the place. It was wonderful! I trust YELP and they never disappoint.
A few pics of the trip....
