It's just what the title says. I lived there for four years and it was still not enough time, and now every time I go back I have four years of memories I want to revisit and places to see again, and I don't even scratch the surface. And this time we were there with friends Kacey and Yohann to celebrate their joint birthdays, which they have started doing in Santa Barbara every year for the past few years since it's always over Santa Barbara fiesta!
We had such a good time staying downtown and enjoying the perfect weather, the beach, the wine tasting venues, the clubs, the bikes, and all the fiesta! If you think glitter follows you around, wait until a weekend of confetti eggs and see how much the confetti ends up everywhere... even now!
Kacey and Yohann were so cute, when we checked in we had a welcome bag with temporary tattoos, fiesta pens, advil, wet wipes, facial masks, face spray, fiesta bracelets, lots of confetti eggs and probably more that I'm forgetting. They always know how to do things right!

| It's kinda hard to see here and it just looks more like specks, but the beautiful confetti getting everywhere actually made for some pretty views! |

| This was AFTER we thought we got rid of all the confetti before going inside to the room LOL |

Even though we've been without Sophie, it seems every time we leave her it feels like the first time again. We checked in a lot and got great cute updates from Debbie all weekend. I guess Sophie is slowly growing quite attached to her bunny (no matter how much I've pushed little plush llamas on her haha) and is bringing it around with her everywhere now.
On Sunday we couldn't seem to drag ourselves away from Santa Barbara and left much later than we had been intending to... so we didn't think we would get home in time to be able to put Sophie to bed so we were FaceTiming with her on our drive home.
She still doesn't seem to really understand FaceTime, but she was still cute. She's 21 months old today! Unrelated, but kinda related, we need to move up to Santa Barbara already.
