After Sunday brunch with the LA crowd, braved traffic yet again and went back north to Santa Barbara. Jason's brother Jeff and his wife Carolyn hosted us Sunday and Monday nights. They have a well-decorated, homey apartment, and Carolyn is a wonderful cook - staying with them was very comfortable.
On Sunday we drove then hiked up to an overlook where to see all of Santa Barbara and the ocean. For dinner we hiked about 20 minutes down to the beautiful spot where Jeff proposed and had a decadent picnic of breads, meats, cheeses, vegetables, spreads, and wine.
Monday morning we did a bit of shopping downtown with Carolyn, then met Jeff for an Indian buffet before he took us sailing. I miss being on the water. It was so fun, I got such a kick out of helping Jeff arrange the sails. Before dinner, we napped on the grass at the old mission and stopped by the museum to see a whale skeleton. Last night Carolyn cooked an outstanding dinner with farmers-market fresh produce and chicken and orzo. I want to be able to cook like that.
