Santa Barbara, as well as it's smaller neighbor Montecito, has a reputation for being the place where affluent Angelinos move to escape the mundane lifestyle and stress of LA county - well deserved. State Street is one of those shopping districts (like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills) that drips money, money, money. But we could enjoy it, because (again) we had Bill and Shannon showing the way. Jump on a trolley to take you down to Sterne's Wharf or step into a little Italian restaurant off the street for a terrific lunch. They seem to have a "key to the city" since they know so many of the in-crowd. Our dinner was at the Palace, one of the ultimate inside destinations - great finish to a perfect day. Super way to end our visit.
