Babymoons and Cameras

RJ blessed me this weekend with a quick Santa Barbara getaway. It had been a year since we spent a night away from L and we wanted to squeeze something in before our newest arrival makes his entrance. 


It was the best 24 hours. We had such a great time. 


Anna & RJ's recipe for a fantastic night away:


gorgeous coastal train ride + comfortable b&b near shopping and beach + really good food + coffee + shopping + new camera (!) + warm, sunny weather + good food + bike riding + farmer's market + amazing restaurants + incredible food + ridiculous laughter + people watching + $150 bottle of wine (that we didn't pay for) + wonderful friends watching our son so we didn't have to worry about him at all =

The one event that we don't have pics of was our dinner at Bouchon Santa Barbara. It might have been the highlight of the trip. RJ and I both ranked it as one of the best dining experiences of our lives. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable and Santa Barbara casual but the food and service were absolutely 5-star. The type of place that refolds your napkin if you get up and go to the restroom. Plus, there was a single diner sitting next to us who happened to order a $150 bottle of wine. She only wanted a bit (it didn't come by the glass) so she kept filling up RJ's glass. For a moment I cursed the baby-bump, but I managed to steal enough sips to feel as though I got to enjoy as well.


And, you'll probably be seeing more blog posts since we finally replaced our good camera. Yay!
