Santa Barbara

Last weekend we went to Santa Barbara for the day. We spent a few hours at the zoo, which is one of my favorite zoos. It overlooks the ocean and a lot of the exhibits are open and you walk through them. Check out the prime piece of property this giraffe has in the collage. You get to be so close to the animals and the landscaping is genius. I highly recommend it to anyone who goes up there. The weather was perfect so after we headed to the beach. Amelia is funny about being dirty. She wouldn't cross this line of dried out seaweed for about 5 minutes. Finally after she figured out no one was going to come and get her, she screamed as she tippy-toed across it. Then she refused to put her feet on the sand so she sat in this position until finally crawling on top of me where not one inch of her was touching the ground. When it was time to go sit on Phil's lap, she walked to the end of my feet and jumped to Phil's leg as if the sand were hot lava. I know I say this all the time, but seriously, Amelia is definitely a city girl.
