Santa Barbara I Miss You!!

I went and visited my friend, Christianne, in Santa Barbara this weekend! It was phenomenal! I am in love with this city! The beach, the mountains, the weather (70 and breezy), the people....I could get used to this!! =) Christianne and I hung out on State St a few times. It is kind of like the strand in Galveston but WAY BETTER! We ate lunch, people watched, and walked around. What is so fun about this street is that it has everything! Restaurants, movie theaters, shops (antique stores, well known clothing stores like Gap, Macys, Banana Republic, etc, and also little unique clothing stores.) Just about everyone has a dog, and the stores even encourage you to bring your dog into the stores by having dog bowls outside their stores and bins with doggie treats in them. There were so many people biking too. There was a bike lane on just about every street. With the perfect weather Santa Barbara has, who wouldn't want to commute by bike/walk!! We went hiking up in the mountains at this little spot Christianne knew. It was sooo much fun that we went back the next day too! I could so get used to this!!!

Uhhhh, why do I live in Houston again?!?!

At one of the waterfalls

There was a snake in one of the waterfalls (shiver!)

I can't believe I actually slid down the waterfall into the water where the snake had been! I was totally peer-pressured into doing it! hahaha. Some locals where cheering me on "Come on, Texas!! Do it!!" As you can see I was in/out of that water in a blink!! haha!
