Starting in Santa Barbara & staying here at the Villa Rosa Inn. A block from the beach & our favorite place to stay. Then we'll head to Solvang & are staying at a cute hotel right in town.

First morning as Mr. & Mrs. enjoying a little breakfast in bed with some bubbly!

Claudia’s dad spoke a lot about Mattei’s Tavern. Her parents would vacation a lot in the Santa Ynez area. We will be going by the Tavern on our e bike tour. Definitely stopping for a drink!

One of our favorite spots in Santa Barbara & it was a favorite for Claudia & her dad, Ed! Many wonderful memories at Cold Springs!

We love Finney's! This location is walking distance from our hotel.

Breakfast in town & walking distance from our hotel!

We love Norton's Deli! It's a treat for us to enjoy their famous pastrami sandwiches, especially the fried pastrami!! So good. Guy Fieri visited there for his show, "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives." Delicious!!

Of course we have to have some Irish fun on our honeymoon!

We are looking forward to a fantastic steak dinner!

On our self-guided bike tour, we will be visiting wineries in Santa Ynez & Ballard, beautiful parks, farms, vineyards, and more. We'll see the historic Mission Santa Inez, the Clairmont Lavender Farm, and Mattei’s Tavern.

Ciao! Pasta & pizza within walking distance of our hotel. Buon Appetito!
