Thursday

Yesterday we went to the Pike Market Place, it was nice but something about it was a let down. They had some arts and crafty stuff and lots of fresh fish. There was even a comic bookstore with cardboard cut outs of Star Wars and Avenger characters, and also some kids in a band called One Direction. We got to see the first ever Starbucks and it was the mecca.. loads of people buying coffee and souvenirs and taking pictures. We then went to a neat pub in the middle of nowhere for a few beers and then off to a Japanese village for sushi. I picked spicy tuna and albacore. I wasn't able to finish the rolls they were enormous, and I wasn't a huge fan of the tuna but the other one was pretty tasty. We then took the light rail back to make it to our hotel for an early night. 

We had a very early flight out of Seattle 7am. The flight itself was painless, I'm starting to think I'm over my fear of flying. I wanted to take a few photos from the plane again but the camera kept focusing on the scratches on the window. Sorry.

We were in and out of the terminal and off to get our car for our drive to Santa Barbara. We reserved a mid size for the an extra $7 / day we upped it to a black convertible mustang. woot woot.We drove up and stopped for lunch in Oxnard, only time I've ever heard of the place was in the big bang theory.

I will post some photos directly in here but in the meantime these are the best ones I've taken so far, I have not edited them or sorted them .. sorry
