We took a few days away from home base and drove down to Santa Barbara to meet up with our good friends Cory & Laura Middel. Their first vacation away from their kids in over a year, and we bring our 5 month old. They sure were patient with us! It was a great getaway, fairly good weather, and fun to explore new things with Ryan...the beach, lying on grass, wine tasting in Solvang, shopping on State Street, and we even saw some dolphins swimming by at breakfast one morning.
our morning walk along the beach
love this view of the mountains
Laura & Cory -- no kids!
breakfast at the Boathouse...where we saw the dolphins swimming close by

Wine tasting in Solvang
cute town of Solvang
photo op in front of a winery
all giggles and wiggles
first stroller ride like a big boy, without the car seat...although we probably jumped the gun a tad, the stroller kind of swallowed Ryan up
bath time at the rental house...and Ryan could not find it in him to sit in the sink, standing only. Makes for one slippery baby!
and this is the wrestling match that has become changing Ryan's clothes and diapers...he is one constant wiggle
Laura, Ryan and I met up with Cory and Eddy after their golf game to enjoy some drinks and a beautiful sunset, and Ryan got his first taste (literally) of the game his dad truly loves
I swear Ryan was having fun, his facial expression in this picture just doesn't capture it
one of the many ways we tried to keep him entertained on the 7 hour drive down
