Santa Barbara--Tue. and Wed.


We had planned on 3 nights in LA and 4 in Santa Barbara (SB). However, den's meeting got changed to start a day earlier, so we headed up to SB Monday night, rather than Tues. morning. Took about 1.45 hours (even less time on the way back to LA).

These pictures are slightly out of order, but what else is new. There was a great tot park within a block of the hotel, right on the beach. Once Ed got the hang of the equipment, he was all over.

G'parents Wisc. arrived Tues. afternoon, right in time for Ed's nap. That afternoon we took SB's 25 cent electric bus up State Street and I got to do some shopping for Eddie. I couldn't tell who enjoyed the bus ride more--Ed or g'pa.

On Wed. we visited the Santa Barbara Mission, which is a fabulous must see. I had also visited one up in Monterey, that left a little to be desired comparatively. Ed played for a long time with these--figs? They stained his hands and clothes, but he had a good time. He also liked to pick up leaves and then he would separate the leaves from the figs and the ocassional other organic matter that came along.

I can't delete this extra photo of g'pa. Oh well.

He really is looking more and more like a little boy rather than a baby. Looks like he had a good time with his grandparents.
