After lunch we tried to check into our hotel, Hotel Oceana. We booked this place through Priceline.
The location was nice, basically a block from where Cabrillo hits State Street, Santa Barbara's main drag. Since it was still early, our room wasn't ready, so we decided to take a walk up State Street. Unfortunately, n wasn't up for the stroller ride. He cried and cried, and we got a lot of looks from passers-by. I felt like they were all thinking, "I'm glad I don't have two kids two and under" or "Why would you take such a young baby on vacation?" D ended up carrying n while pushing his stroller while I pushed k in her stroller. I think it might be time to invest in a double stroller! Anyway, we needed a bathroom break so I steered us toward Nordstrom, which has the nicest restrooms, plus a nursing lounge. This was basically the only store we went into.
k put on a mini-fashion show @ Nordstrom.
It was quite a walk back, so we took the shuttle, which is only 25 cents a person. Getting on and off the shuttle was a task in itself, since we had two kids and two strollers, but it was well worth it. On our way back, we got the call that our room was ready--perfect timing!
We booked a room with 1 king bed, so k slept in the hotel's pack and play. She liked the novelty of it.
