🇺🇸 California | Santa Barbara Day Trip Guide 🚗💨

Spent a long weekend driving from LA to Santa Barbara with friends—so chill and blissful! ☺️ Here are my top recommendations: ⛪ Old Mission Santa Barbara 📍 2201 Laguna St, Santa Barbara, CA 93105 A pink church (though less pink in reality 😅). The lawn and cross at the entrance are photogenic! Closed for a wedding during our visit, but worth admiring from outside. 🏛️ Superior Court Of California County Of Santa Barbara 📍 1100 Anacapa St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Another popular spot with a beautiful lawn. Perfect for sunbathing and dog-watching 🐕🌞 (though the interior is underwhelming). 🛍️ State Street Stumbled upon this shopping street in downtown SB—loved it! Full of boutiques, brands, and restaurants. Highlights: A fun vintage shop where we browsed… Playboy magazines? 😂 🍝 Mizza 📍 1112 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Found this on Red and had mixed expectations, but it was delicious! Affordable prices + outdoor seating with live guitar music 🎸 = pure happiness. 🚗 Pro Tip: Driving from LA takes <2 hours. Better than trains for flexibility! Parking is easy and cheap. Perfect weekend getaway for Angelenos seeking a change of scenery! #StudyAbroadTravel #California #SantaBarbara #LA #WeekendVibes #TravelGuide 🌴📸
