So I went to Santa Barbara this weekend and had the best time. It is such a beautiful town, I felt like i was in a countryside in the north of England. I was there for a wine tasting festival with a few friends and it was a lovely experience! (though i may have had too much wine towards the end of the trip) Its a lovely 3 hour Ocean drive away and just nice to get away from  the city. Fresh air, beautiful views, cool people, country walks , all just very nice! SB is perfect getaway for couples, or big groups  to enjoy a bit of Peace, Quiet and Wine. If you havent been  there, you should soooo go!
