There was a place across the street from the Pier that rented bikes. We found one our whole family could fit on!
Ashlyn and Lauren ( I love how excited they look!)
We rode up and down the bike path along the beach. The bike even had a little bell!! Everyone looked at us and smiled as they passed by. We laughed and smiled until our cheeks hurt.

(I thought after 2 years it would wear off, but Ashlyn is still the center of their world! They are so sweet to her)

Then we decided the let Austin drive! He actually did a good job! We didn't hit anybody and we didn't crash! :-)

Then, we headed over to the beach. We brought a kite and it was a hit! I'm not sure who had more fun with it though... Jason or the kids!

It was such a fun weekend. I love the memories that we created. I love that the kids are getting older and have such fun personalities. I love it that they are cool little people! I love my family...

Tara what a fun weekend and great memories you have created. I'm so glad you decided to just go!
Great pictures! It all looked so fun!
I love the bike!! That was awesome. If I ever get the chance, we'll rent one.
I'm looking for GREAT shots of favorite spots in Santa Barbara County for inclusion in an upcoming book!
Enter your best digital image(s) in the Best Family Adventures: Santa Barbara County photo contest by 9 p.m. PST Monday, November 30, 2009 for publication consideration. This paperback guide to all things family friendly in Santa Barbara County is due out in spring 2010 and YOUR work could be featured!
$25 for each photo used on inside pages - these photos will be reproduced in black and white and may be either vertical or horizontal, though vertical images are in higher demand.
$100 for photo selected for the cover - this photo must be vertical and color.
Digital images should emphasize place, not people, though the human element is certainly encouraged. You must have written permission from any persons in the photo. Written permission must include the subject's name and signature (guardian's name and signature for subjects younger than 18) and a working telephone number for verification purposes. Photos submitted without the written permission will be disqualified from the competition.
All photos must be tack sharp. No out-of-focus images will be considered, though images that make good use of depth of field for texture are encouraged. All images must be of publicly accessible places in Santa Barbara County, from the Santa Maria River south to the Ventura County line. Inclusion of a diverse population is strongly encouraged.
Winning photographs become the property of Pen & Pad Publishing for use in Best Family Adventures guide series books, Web site and related materials. All other rights are retained by the photographer.
