Santa Barbara

Sometimes when I visit a place I can see myself living there.  This is how I felt about Santa Barbara! Now I just have to convince all my family and friends to move there with me:)  It was a nice place to celebrate our Five year wedding anniversary.  My goal was to choose a place that both Matt and I would like and so I chose  El Capitan Canyon Campground.  It was more like glamping than camping.  Glamping= Glamourous Camping.  If you know my husband you would know that he loves everything outdoors and I love to create a fun atmosphere anywhere we are.  It was a perfect place for the two of us.  I brought a few personal items to make it feel like home.  We had two candle lit dinners in our little cabin, went on a hike,visited downtown Santa Barbara and our favorite part was driving through the beautiful estates in Montecito!  You can hardly see house but the gates and landscaping were jaw dropping.  We would freak out when we caught a glimpse of a house.  They were amazing!  I can't wait to go again!!!

we had the queen creekside cabin 

i brought my own comforter..... i love white linens:)

i brought our bathrobes to make it feel like we were at a resort

i had originally booked the canvas tent bc they are so cute but didn't have as much privacy as the cabins did.  this would be fun for a girlfriends trip
