some time off...

We had been talking for some time about spending a weekend up in Santa Barbara. We finally did it, not in the mild spring climate or the sunny summer season, but a weekend where the brisk cold air blew and the rain gods decided that California needed some rain. The weather was actually quite nice; rained on Friday night, but only while our heads were still resting. By the time we were out the sun was beginning to peak through and the air grew a bit warmer.
We stayed at the Hotel Andalucia. If you need a recommendation, this hotel would be one to consider. It was also Younsoo's birthday on Friday, so we enjoyed a fancy meal at Lucky's...best steak that has ever touched these lips. The rest of the time was spent strolling on the beach, shopping, and being lazy.


Here's our room seen through a mirror reflection.


The hotel had a roof top pool and fireplace area. Here's a view from atop.


Younsoo is showing quite a bit nowadays. Soon to be parents.


A reflection of beauty.


Delicious...


Beautiful Santa Barbara...we'll be back!
