Weekend Observations

Posted on by Gigi in Weekend Observations 1 Comment

Mother’s Day weekend was a complicated, logistical nightmare. Everyone and their “mother” must of been driving somewhere, of course at the same moment we were traveling to our destination. I was being whisked away to an unknown place, the only clue I was given is that I had been there before. We picked up Reggie in Carpinteria, and continued north to Santa Barbara to my surprise brunch at San Ysidro Ranch.

Love the bouganvillea. We had come to this resort over 20 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to come again.

I love orchids. SantaBarbara has numerous orchid growers, which means good selection and good deals. I was in orchid heaven. We stopped at Gallup & Stribling orchids farm.
