Weekend in Carp

Just had such a relaxing weekend. Tracy and I drove up to Carpinteria on Saturday night to stay with our friend's Ben, LeighAnne and their son Luke (Tracy's godson). After the beautiful drive up north, we reached their house which sits on an avocado farm near the beach. We talked and relaxed in the living room and headed off to bed.  Sunday morning, Tracy and I took Luke and their dog Kenya on a walk to the beach. I just can't get over how beautiful it was and to top it off, the weather was perfect. I felt like I could breathe again. Tracy and I then went off to the Santa Barbara Polo Fields for the last polo match of the season. I had never been to a match so it was a lot of me learning the rules, but great fun. We channeled our Pretty Woman nostalgia and went out to stomp the divets. Champagne was flowing to complete our proper polo experience. All we were missing was our large hats and polka dot dresses. When the match was over and trophies were given, we joined Ben, LeighAnne and Luke down at the beach to play around in the sand and watch the sunset. On our way back to their house, Tracy drove me around Carpinteria, Summerland and Montecito. Have to say, I cannot stop imagining what it would be like to live there. Such an easy going lifestyle compared to the hectic Los Angeles that we have been dealing with. We did all these activities in one day, had we been in Los Angeles we would have had to stick with one activity since the logistics of doing all three would be a nightmare. And the rents up there weren't that bad at all. Something for me to chew on for the future. :)
