I'm not sure we thought this through very well, but less than 24 hours after returning from Las Vegas, we were back on the road for a college trip up the coast with the Lebitski girls. Luckily Leslie was "on it" enough to book hotels and we mapped our route the night before. Who needs more planning than that? It all worked out great!
After some unexpected traffic on the 101, we were starving so first stopped in Isla Vista for lunch. The girls spotted this cool mural (which may actually lead to a business idea some day!).
We found this cool spot on Yelp called Buddha Bowls. Start with a sourdough bread bowl and fill it with whatever toppings you want. We tried the Mediterranean, the Pizza, the BBQ chicken and Mac and Cheese. Very good!
Then it was on to the UCSB campus on a gorgeous day. Students were on spring break, but we were still able to visit the bookstore, student union and visitor center.
The campus is huge and very bike friendly. It is right on the water, but wasn't a hit with any of the girls. The buildings didn't really follow a traditional feel and Taylor is looking for a bigger sports school,
but you sure can't beat the location!
Then it was back in the car for an hour or 2 for a quick stop at Pismo Beach. We got an ice cream cone and walked down to the pier. It was super windy,
but a beautiful beach!
Our last stop of the day was San Luis Obispo. We checked into our hotel and drove to town for dinner at CPK, a little prom dress shopping (no luck) and a stop at the famous gum wall. We will tour campus tomorrow...
