Santa Barbara here we come!

This year we spent the week after the July 4th holiday in Santa Barbara visiting my sister and her family. The week went by way too fast! We went shopping, ate excellent food and relaxed in the cool California weather. Dennis had to attend a conference in St. Louis in the middle of our vacation but he did get to go to the All Star game! The beach was a hit with the boys, as were the long walks to the park and down State Street. Dennis and his cousin Siena participated in a skate camp on the beach and we did our annual tie dye adventure! Billy celebrated his 4th birthday in style by going on a pirate cruise and we wrapped up our trip with birthday presents and cake! Thank you Buffy, Daryl, Siena and Sage! We had a great time!
