Getting Away

The night before school started again for the quarter Charles and I headed out to a bed and breakfast in Solvang, CA (past Santa Barbara in wine country) for our Christmas gift to one another. We decided there wasn't really anything we needed or wanted to buy for each other, so we'd rather put the money towards something memorable. It was an absolutely gorgeous day to go, spectacular scenery! We really didn't do a whole lot, we played a board game, enjoyed the B&B's wine/appetizer hour, went out to dinner, and slept for about 10 straight hours which was heavenly! Monday before we headed home we visited the Santa Ynez Mission and the Buttonwood Farms Winery. Enjoy the photos!

I had packed a picnic lunch for us for the drive up, so we stopped on the coast in Santa Barbara for lunch on Sunday. A delicious meal of crackers, gouda, pasta salad with fresh basil, mozzarella and tomatoes.
