Okay, I have a dream, it may not be as lofty and idealistic as Martin Luther Kings dream, but it goes a little something like this... we buy a little house in Santa Barbara, a fixer upper, we invest a little money, a little elbow grease, have bamboo floors laid and decorate it in the style from Simplese (the store in the Bristol Farms shopping center) very European, everything off white, contemporary, but casual, beachy, but not shabby ( I actually have this house completely decorated in my mind, right down to the bathroom fixtures and lighting)... We go there on weekends. The kids come to visit, we ride bikes, play games, put together puzzles, shop, eat at little cafes, play with the grand children.... Nice dream, huh? But for now we will just have to make the hour and ten minute drive and do all those things, like we did last weekend!

Santa Barbara has great stores and yummy cafes!
All I could think about as I rode this thing was "Gob" from Arrested Development!
Patrick scaring his mother.
Me and Chris. Mari took this picture over her shoulder, while riding a bike. Impressive!
The boys on their Segues! Luke doesn't care about getting a license. He just wants one of these!

That day was so fun. I wish we could spend every weekend in Santa Barbara. We can contribute about $15 to your dream house. Sorry, we're poor. But I do promise to spend lots of time there if and when you do get it.
Um, for some reason I was signed in as you. Sorry.
Love,
Court
I was going to say... I didn't post that!! How did that happen???

You guys are just too fun!
And I have a dream... that you adopt Lisa and I.
Also, love the "Gob" reference because that is the only thing I can think about as well whenever I see someone on one of those things.
I would love either a beach house or a condo in Park City...it's a toss up! The beach is closer, but Park City is one of my favorite places to be on earth! Poor Clark...I tell him my big plans all the time...no pressure or anything! I've even thought of moving to Park City...good thing his answer was "and what would I do for work...you know for that little thing called money you need to live on." I wish it grew on trees!
Can't wait for my next cooking class, I am so excited...I will try to remember to bring my camera!
