Day trip to santa barbara

yesterday, we took a trip over to Santa Barbara. We had a lot of fun, and Santa barbara is truly one of the prettiest and nicest cities I've been to. Quite the contrast to LA if you ask me. First we went to the zoo, then down to their pier and afterwards to the SB mission

we stopped at a beach to watch the sunset. It was beautiful, but not quite worth the 70 dollar parking ticket
