Jen tuned 40 last month and we wanted to do something extra special for her. Adam booked an AirBnB in Santa Barbara for a few days. On Wednesday, August 12th, we loaded up our bikes and off we went. Just us grown ups! We were so excited for our first ever Grown Up Road Trip!
This is the house we stayed in! It was so cute and close to everything we wanted to do. La Maison.
We got all settled and some of us road bikes and some of us rode in the car to get some delicious pizza for dinner. When we got home, we played some games and then rode our bikes 1 block away to State Street to get some ice cream.
State Street is only open to pedestrians and bikers for blocks and blocks. We rode up and down and all around!
Thurday August 13th!
We went on a hike to Montecito Hot Springs. It was beautiful!
After our awesome hike, we grabbed Brian and the bikes and rode to lunch. We ate the most delicious food and then spent the rest of the day riding around Santa Barbara!
We were all beat from our ride, and HOT! We relaxed and napped in the house until dinner. We got our going out clothes on and ate at the Santa Barbara Public Market. Another yummy meal!
We were up late playing games...
And even had a midnight hot tub party!
Friday the 14th, we slept in and got all packed up and cleaned the house. Before leaving, the girls took advantage of the photo booth props for a little goodbye photo shoot-
Goodbye La Maison! You were good to us!
We found a yummy brunch place and then drove back down to the coast for some more bike riding.
And we got some amazing shaved ice-
We loaded up the bikes and parked up on the cliffs. We hiked down to the beach and had a quick swim.
Then we said goodbye to Santa Barbara and hopped in the stopped traffic to head home. We did make one last stop for dinner in Ventura and then dropped Adam and Jen off in Valencia. The rest of us had a nice drive home while singing "Hamilton" songs.
It was so much fun. We are so blessed with such great friends! I can't wait to do this again.
