Mission Walking

Today we were trying to think of something to do that wouldn't cost a lot of money. We know that we are privileged to live on the central coast and so near to a ton of cool things, and we know we don't take near enough advantage of that. So somehow we came up with the idea that it would be really cool (and dorky) to say we've seen all the missions of California. Little did we know (it's been a long time since 4th grade) that there are 21 of them in California, from San Diego to north of Frisco. Fortunately, there are 3 of them within a half hour drive, Mission Santa Barbara, Mission Santa Ines, and La Purisima Concepcion. We decided to only go to the latter two today since we always go into Santa Barbara and have been to the mission there before. That's what all these crazy pictures are about. Hopefully you can figure out which mission is which since I did put an abbreviation before each, but you never know.

Hanging at firestone...but not the one you'd think

We tried to have BBQ pork sandwiches last night, but, in Katy's own words, there was too much bone and tubing (fat) showing. So we went to the local hotspot, Firestone Brewing Company. Not a large food selection, but a good one. I know, I'm at a brewery and I don't have a brew in my hand. Turn in my man card right? Well, right now, beer right next to Katy makes her nauseous so it's out for now. Anyway, just wanted to show you guys we do go out once in a hwile and not all our posts are about the baby!
