Santa Barbara

Driving up the coast of California and exploring is unequivocally my favorite way to spend any weekend. There's just something about the California Riviera, as some people call it, that makes you feel so alive. Whether it's wine country, the beaches, the mountains or the redwood forests, you can't go wrong.

A recent trip to Santa Barbara for Petey's birthday reminded me why I love it there. A party bus through wine country, amazing scenery and good company; I could literally do it every weekend.
