Trip to Santa Barbara


It's been a busy season of life for the Blakes, so we took our first get-away trip. We were looking at various places to stay and ended up in Santa Barbara for a few days. It was an amazing trip! We stayed right on State Street and enjoyed the great weather while walking all day as a family.

We started the trip off with a stop at a monastery in Santa Barbara. Chris just got back from a Staff Retreat there and commented on how beautiful it was. I wanted to see it for myself and he was right...it over looks all of Santa Barbara. It was a great way for us to start off the trip since we could just sit and be together in a quiet place with no distractions. Plus, Addie got her first trip to a monastery...not many babies can say that.



The Baby Bjorn became our favorite Addie carrier. She slept in it throughout the day which allowed us to enjoy walking to and from the beach. We even tried her facing out for the first time and she loved it. Chris loved having her so close and everyone kept commenting on how cute they were. I am lucky...
