James Kennedy Beautiful picture of Santa Barbara and a classic one at best. The palm trees down by the beach are some of the biggest ones I have ever seen! Such a beautiful town and there is so much to do, I love traveling there when I can! I was just there actually for Old Spanish Days (fiestas). You should try and make it out next August for them! So much good entertainment and food and of course great parties at night all over State Street. It is a great time! I stayed at the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). So affordable and the location is the absolute best!

Jesse Classic photo of Santa Barbara. Those tall palm trees are wonderful to lay under on a nice sunny day down by the beach. Whenever I am in Santa Barbara I love taking runs along the beach and these trees that line the beach really just add the perfect amount of flare to an already pretty picture. I'm planning on attending the film festival this year and I cannot wait to be in town and spend a few days enjoying the culture that surrounds the town. I'll be staying at the South Coast Inn (www.santa-barbara-hotel.com). Really elegant and right outside of town so I save a ton of money!
