[Weekend report, May 6-8 2022]
Monday, 9 May 2022 08:28Weekend report TWO weeks in a row-I do believe that is a first!
Friday:Up early,headed to Santa Barbara . I needed coffee and we didn’t stop ‘till we were almost in Santa Barbara. The first place we saw when we stopped was a 7-11.I was like “works for me!”
Showed up at my aunt’s house and we sat around for a while, then went for a walk which was nice(my aunt has a nice neighbourhood to walk around in.)
My cousin came over with her baby(who I hadn’t met before then..she is SO cute! My mom, who is a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 5 and who worked with babies, was in her element.
Later on we went to the Santa Barbara Botanical gardens.That was a LOT of walking but I was up for it. I’ve been to the botanical gardens near where my mom and dad live, and yeah,OK, it’s impressive,but it doesn’t have redwoods.
My cousin and her wife live kinda nearby so we checked out their house(they live near the mission and like hanging out there with the baby because she can run around, as kids that age do.
Dinner was at a Mexican food restaraunt and was a little on the late side but eh..it was worth it because the food was REALLY good!
A few words about the hotel we stayed in:Not great, but we were only there for one night.I walked to McDonald’s for breakfast and coffee in the morning. I was so tired I went right to sleep . Also, the hotel has been sold and is going to be turned into homeless housing.
Saturday:Walked to McDonald’s for breakfast . Busy day but nothing like yesterday(and BTW I know I’m starting to get toned because I was not sore at all.)
Did a tour of the UC Santa Barbara campus. It is a GORGEOUS campus, and there is an area called Isla Vista which has everything a college student could possibly need right there(including the beach!)
My aunt’s birthday is today so we had an early birthday dinner with sandwiches she likes.They WERE good! Wish we had a place like that around here(and no, Subway and Jersey Mike’s don’t count.)
Sunday:Made sure my mom was well taken care of. Fixed lunch(bagels, pastrami,cream cheese potato salad, and cookies.) for my mom. Went home early(ish) via the grocery store.
