Santa Barbara

Last weekend the whole family and I went to visit my in-laws in Santa Barbara. We stayed at my mother-in-laws parents home which as you will soon see is just breath taking. Tom and MB live in the hills of SB and have a beautiful Spanish style hacienda. It is done to the nines is old Spanish decor and the gardens are unbelievable. It was very relaxing even with 3 teenagers 1 child and a toddler (oh yeah did I mention by brother-in-laws are 16, 13 and 9) so even though there were a ton of teenage craziness and extremely vigilant toddler watching (there is no gate around the pool) we had a blast, take a look...

My wonderful husband (really the only time I can get a good shot of him is when he's not paying attention) :)

Here is my little monster Sydney K. She is just so busy that I could not get a good shot of her looking at me she always found something more interesting to look at.

As you can see I did not take these but Tatiana is rapidly become a budding photographer. She has a great eye for detail, but she tells me she prefers scenery to people "it holds still" as she puts it.
