The historic Riverside Mission Inn does a spectacular job of creating a Christmas wonderland every year -- we thoroughly enjoyed participating in the sights and sounds on a beautiful moonlit night with palm trees gently swaying in the night sky!

We took the "Red Tile" walking tour of downtown Santa Barbara past all the elegant buildings housing the courthouse, library, museums, etc.
......and of course, lunch on the plaza.....note the pastries in the background!
Rancho Oso - in the hills above Santa Barbara, CA
This Thousand Trails preserve is in the middle of a working horse ranch.
We fell in love with the vistas of the canyons and Santa Ynez mountains, along with the proximity to the wine growing region and beautiful Santa Barbara.
