State Street

This is the main street in Downtown Santa Barbara. There are plenty of shops and restaurants, and the beach isn't too far either!

Solvang

Solvang is a small Danish town about 30 minute drive north of Santa Barbara. They have bakeries, shopping, wine, and windmills. Be sure to try some aebleskivers (Danish Pancake Balls, usually served with powdered sugar and jam). You can also find the Sock Loft - one of Michelle's first employers.

Panino

These are some delicious sandwiches! You can't go wrong! We frequently eat at their Goleta location; they also have locations in Solvang, and Los Olivos if you decide to explore more of Santa Barbara County and need a bite!
