Sea urchin looks like rambutan the fruit 😋
I'm an Australian who was there in 2017, driving from San Fran to LA. Stayed at the Beachside Inn. Beautiful, little town. Seemed very liveable.
I can wait to visit Santa Barbara
As usual, a fantastic video highlighting the best of Santa Barbara! I’ve been trying to convince my twins to apply to college there. Back in the day (when Common Sense was still rocking Isla Vista) it wasn’t too tough but now, oof! 😊
Thanks Amy!
It's always nice to see these vlogs with you and the smiling baby girl 😁👶🏻. Santa Barbara looks like a nice week trip in the making. Thanks
Awwww
Nice job on this one! Great b-roll and drone shots!
Thanks Jeff!
Dang what a beautiful place! Another fun informative video! Thank you for sharing bro! YP4L!
Sweet bonding for you twos!
That was a good video, I used to live there in 71 and 72, I always liked it there I’ll have to go back and visit soon, thanks Chris.
Thanks Bob!
Your little girl stole the show. Very cute. Good video. . Informative . Thanks
The thumbnail is absolutely adorable. The Traveling Princess' pink dress is so pretty She certainly dressed for the occasion 😊. All of the food looked delicious , especially the Cajun food.
Aww
Thank you good to know geology Santa Barbra.
Very interesting place..
The McConnell’s ice cream is delicious! We spent 2 nights in Santa Barbara on our recent California Road Trip in May - we loved it!
It was our first visit to California from the UK & we found lots of your vlogs very helpful. Thank you 😍
Thanks BevvyLoo!
Cool video on one of my favorite cities to visit.
Thanks Paul!
I never knew Santa Barbara was such a wonderful place ❤
Indeed! Lots of cool stuff in SB!
Perfect timing, wife and I are going to SB the week of September 4th.
Enjoy SB!
Really surprised you didn't mention the zoo. One of the best ways to spend half a day in Santa Barbara is in the zoo.
Thanks for the additional tip
I was in Santa Barbara in 2018 and it was a beautiful city
Ha ha ha... You can check out anytime you like from the Hotel Californian, but you can never leave 😄. Thanks Chris !
Very good Joe! I'm glad someone got the reference 😀
Cute video. We drive down from SF with our pup for our annual no-brainer getaway. The town is so charming and dog friendly. We always stay at the Hotel Californian due to its awesome location by the beach and the funk zone.
Nice! Thanks for the report on the Hotel Californian!
Historic tip: SB was destroyed by an earthquake and it was rebuilt in the Spanish style to draw in businesses and tourists, much like Solvang.
That's not true lmao
@@oshaba12I never heard of it either but it’s true. It happened in 1925 and destroyed much of downtown. My parents moved there in the early 60’s and I was born at Goleta Valley Hospital in 1968.
Hi Chris! It was nice seeing you and the fam at Dart Coffee at the funk zone in SB! 🌴☕️
Happy Travels!
Sima
You too Sima!
Nice! Santa Barbara with kids is awesome. We enjoyed Stearns Wharf, The Mission, and Kid's World playground!
The best!
Hi Chris. Thanks for the wonderful video. I always thought that Santa Barbara was a more upscale area. But it seems to be a pretty laid back area to visit. The food is amazing. I love that seafood market at the harbor. I envied you eating those fresh sea urchins. If I'm in the area. I will definitely check out the seafood for sure. Take care.
Mmm. Hopefully you can get some Santa Barbara uni soon! 😀
Humor on point. Glad you took your daughter to the Moxi museum, it is really cool for young kids. The Natural History museum is also nice for kids, with a small planetarium. Rory’s ice cream is another good ice cream place, in the Santa Barbara Market building.
Thanks! We'll at the Natural History Museum and Rorys to our list for next time!
@@YellowProductions Oops, I think autocorrect changed the spelling. It is Rori's in the Santa Barbara Public Market on the corner of Chapala and Victoria. Also, there is a cool, castle type playground in Alameda Park that the Princess would love. Maybe you too, haha!
Santa Barbara looks really nice! I like those views from the top of the tower at the courthouse. I never knew sea urchin would look so tasty. I will need to try one someday!
I think you'd enjoy it.. SB and Uni 😀
Aww so shweet ! Love little princess reaction to sea urchin... 'No'...😂
Hah
Thanks, Chris 👍❤️
My pleasure!
Made the trip on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from Anaheim. Paid the higher fare for better seats. Was well worth it and loved SB!😊
Awesome! And glad you enjoyed the Amtrak!
Hello from Germany, nice Video!
Thanks so much!
Me: “internet, tell me about Santa Barbara”. Chris: “ I got you”
Right on 😀
Ran into you on State st and you gave us a sticker! Thanks for being cool
Right on! Thanks for saying hey and watching!
Our fav is Andersen's Danish Restaurant, chocolate store is next door.
I'll check that out next time!
Kyle's Kitchen is a budget restaurant in Santa Barbara. There are places to eat on a budget in Santa Barbara.
Nice video
Thanks tariq!
Local here. I know you are from San Diego because you skipped the biggest segment of our local food diet; Mexican Food. So people not from So-cal, may want to experience when visiting (I get that the seafood is more local) Great Video!! I have seen all of the things you mentioned, but it was amazing that you came when you could experience them all for one video.
Thanks for the addition of Mexican Food as something to eat. I agree 😀
For that Saturday morning fresh seafood, its not ALMOST fresh off the boat, its actually directly off the boat. We arrive there about 3am and takes us a couple hours to get things setup. You wont get any fresher anywhere in the world. - A Commercial Crabber in the area.
Also McConnells flagship spot was on mission street, they only moved downtown recently.
Right on projectdelta! No comment about "almost" fresh off the boat is it would be kind of cool to have a pier where the seafood could actually be sold from the boat :)
Love your videos. Born and raised in Santa Barbara. Love my hometown!!! I think most locals will agree that Santa Barbara is part of the Central Coast and not Southern California
Thanks Danny. Makes sense to me!
@@YellowProductions Hello Deni, I'm Anatoly from Ukraine. I want to move to Santa Barbara with my family, please tell me the contacts of those who came from Ukraine.
Wow, impressive information
We stay in Ventura, CA hotels and drive up to Santa Barbara to save money 💰.
That's a good tip Stargazer.. Ventura hotels are definitely way cheaper
Great idea!
There's so much to do in Santa Barbara. You missed showing the turtle fountain and hidden passages in the shopping/theater districts. You definitely could spend another day there. We did many things on our trips too. So much to cover there. From the train depot, art museum, museum of natural history, the Santa Barbara botanical gardens, Mission Rose Gardens, the orchid nurseries, the Santa Barbara historical museum, and the free karpeles manuscript Library/museum, the adobe, carriage museum. Ive visited Santa Barbara 4 times. The Four Seasons used to have an amazing Christmas holiday lobby display, but it's been closed for awhile. Your video was insightful too and covered a lot, but you would probably need to stay a week in Santa Barbara to see everything..did you go to the Sacred place in summerland?
Thanks. We definitely could have spent a few more nights. This was all we could capture in a 2 night trip 😀
Have you been to the Sacred space yet? It's a gift store with an enchanted garden that makes you feel like you are in Thailand or Bali. Hope you can/were able to visit.
@@landporte1593great spot.. with only 2 days, Summerland is a stretch.
I live here!
Neat!
🌴🌴🌴💯👍
You show check out Santa Barbara Glassblowing studio the best tour!
Wasn't this the location for hte eighties cult classic the "Lost Boys"? Looks really nice especially compared to LA.
That was Santa Cruz. Further north.
fun fact, the purple sea urchins are actually an invasive species in the santa barbara coast and are growing at such a fast rate that they're actually negatively affecting the offshore ecosystem lol so eat all the pruple sea urchins you can!!!
Mmmm!
Checkout the best tour in the city Santa Barbara Glassblowing Studio. Come play with fire!
stay in carpenteria and take the bus to SB
Hot dog with mayonnaise, mashed potato, mustard and ketchup is good option.
CHRIS FOR PRESIDENT 2024. MAKE AMERICA YELLOW AGAIN!
Hah!
I work downtown HATE IT
No way, plastic spoons and forks??
Half of the video is food 😂
Yes 😀
Princess is so sweet like her ice cream great video my mouths watering watching this 😍 your prices are same has over here in England.
Awww
Those prices are simply extortionate.
Great video Chris I lived in Santa Barbara for a while and there is a great municipal pool right near the beach for those who like swimming laps called Los Baños.
Neat
