This has been the longest we've spent out of the tiny beach town just south of Santa Barbara. As the days grow longer and warmer, we usually start making trips up the coast once or twice a month. However, due to an awfully long Winter coupled with the natural disasters that hit the area. We've been sort of stuck in a holding pattern as Summer approaches.
If you're at all like me, and every town you visit you try and find that local roaster or brewer. Something slightly unique that hasn't completely been wiped out by big chains. Then you've probably already found and been to Handlebar Coffee Roasters. Located in downtown Santa Barbara. It's one of my favorite spots, and a constant for my family and I when we're up that way visiting Grandma. They have an espresso "Milkshake". It's 8$ which is a bit steep, but it's pretty much the most amazing thing ever. Seriously... no joke.
