We had a wonderful visit to Santa Barbara for my niece’s wedding.
Doesn’t she look great? She and the groom were very relaxed and happy. It was a very fun event!
The next day, my sister-in-law and I headed off for a few days of exploring. Having never been in the area before, we found the scenery mesmerizing! (I was driving and the views were really distracting.)
We didn’t take that many pictures, but I think we got some of the highlights:
Hearst Castle
A beautiful view of the ocean scenery
Can you believe that water color? I live on the east coast and our water is NOT that beautiful teal.
Sea Lions in San Francisco
Redwoods in Muir Woods
And, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge (on a cloudy morning.)
Everyone likes to get their picture taken with the bridge.
I mean EVERYONE likes to get their picture taken with the bridge.
It was a great trip with family fun, extraordinary scenery, and interesting activities.

P.S. As part of revamping my blog I’ve dramatically increased the size of the images. What do you think? Do you like them or do they load too slowly?
Personally, I like the larger images and had no problems with them loading up. Sounds like you had a great time.
Hi Ellen, your web page loaded very quickly for me. You images are larger, but they are still a low enough resolution to load very quickly. I am originally from New Jersey and I agree that the Pacific Ocean is very different from the Atlantic Ocean.
My Best To You,

Hey Ellen! I haven’t visited for a while. I LOVE the bigger images. They don’t load slow at all! You were in my neck of the woods! Wish we could have met.
Your blog loads so much faster than it used to. I like the large photos. I think we should make it easy for our readers to both read and look at photos.
Thanks Wanda. I appreciate the feedback. I just checked your blog and you have some lovely images.
