Sunrise City

Last night I decided to leave the shades open in hopes of the sunrise waking me up. Unfortunately, the sun was no match for my jet lag, but good news is, Malcolm was there to wake me up! We headed across the street from out hotel, to Stern's Wharf, and walked the foot path while reading the paper. I managed to capture some great shots with the sun peaking over the horizon. We munched on some yummy breakfast at this quaint little place right next to our hotel and then hopped in the car for a few more early morning views.






First, we headed to Santa Barbara City College stadium. At the top of the stairs you get some of the best views! Considering running stairs here tomorrow morning... Then we headed to the County Courthouse where we climbed up to the top of the tower and took in the scenery.

Pit Stop: Santa Barbara

Instead of going straight to Tokyo from Boston, I decided to give myself a five day layover in L.A. with my friend Malcolm, who I haven't seen in seven years! First stop, In-N-Out Burger. Double-Double with a chocolate milkshake and fries please. Oh, sweet calories! Next, we cruised down to the Harbor View Inn in Santa Barbara. The drive was long, but picturesque. It was definitely a reminder that I'm not a fan of L.A. traffic! Because I was suffering from massive amounts of jet lag, we only managed to take a quick stroll down the Santa Barbara pier and grab fro-yo at YogurtLand. Cactus fruit tart flavored yogurt was borderline life-changing.

Gotta love Malcolm's Carrera shades

Yeah that's right, it's a sneaker night

Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to starting my day off with a run down the beach, exploring State St. and finishing the night with some delicious local wine! Any ideas of things that I absolutely have to see while I'm in SB? Let me know! xoxo
