Sea urchin looks like rambutan the fruit 😋

[@carncats07]

I'm an Australian who was there in 2017, driving from San Fran to LA. Stayed at the Beachside Inn. Beautiful, little town. Seemed very liveable.

[@mastahdekay]

She is so adorable!!!

[@amyyates8273]

As usual, a fantastic video highlighting the best of Santa Barbara! I’ve been trying to convince my twins to apply to college there. Back in the day (when Common Sense was still rocking Isla Vista) it wasn’t too tough but now, oof! 😊

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Amy!

[@danielleporter1829]

The thumbnail is absolutely adorable. The Traveling Princess' pink dress is so pretty She certainly dressed for the occasion 😊. All of the food looked delicious , especially the Cajun food.

[@YellowProductions]

Aww

[@69FOSTER]

One of the best tour videos I've seen! Got to see these places up close.

[@YellowProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@delontereid7584]

It's always nice to see these vlogs with you and the smiling baby girl 😁👶🏻. Santa Barbara looks like a nice week trip in the making. Thanks

[@YellowProductions]

Awwww

[@bobmiller6974]

That was a good video, I used to live there in 71 and 72, I always liked it there I’ll have to go back and visit soon, thanks Chris.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Bob!

Made the trip on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from Anaheim. Paid the higher fare for better seats. Was well worth it and loved SB!😊

[@YellowProductions]

Awesome! And glad you enjoyed the Amtrak!

[@user-mc1xd8mp6k]

I was in Santa Barbara in 2018 and it was a beautiful city

[@PhotowalksTV]

Nice job on this one! Great b-roll and drone shots!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Jeff!

[@dannyarroyo5298]

Love your videos. Born and raised in Santa Barbara. Love my hometown!!! I think most locals will agree that Santa Barbara is part of the Central Coast and not Southern California

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Danny. Makes sense to me!

[@АнатолийОльшанський-м8з]

@@YellowProductions Hello Deni, I'm Anatoly from Ukraine. I want to move to Santa Barbara with my family, please tell me the contacts of those who came from Ukraine.

[@stargazer5073]

Our fav is Andersen's Danish Restaurant, chocolate store is next door.

[@YellowProductions]

I'll check that out next time!

[@angelicasoup638]

Thank you good to know geology Santa Barbra.

[@AmiraCelonOracle]

Great video Chris I lived in Santa Barbara for a while and there is a great municipal pool right near the beach for those who like swimming laps called Los Baños.

[@YellowProductions]

Neat

[@ivettaabramyan1079]

Great video! Going there for the first time in a couple weeks. Very informative.

[@BenjaminGraulus]

oh men i realy like your "investgations". i learnd to know you because i travelled a lot to LV, but hey i spreading my wings and want to see more and than again i found you on KZbin! you are good!

[@scottman895]

Santa Barbara looks really nice! I like those views from the top of the tower at the courthouse. I never knew sea urchin would look so tasty. I will need to try one someday!

[@YellowProductions]

I think you'd enjoy it.. SB and Uni 😀

[@melissagutierrez6892]

I would also recommend Santa Barbara Zoo, great day to spend with family and friends. Your children will really enjoy 😊

[@YellowProductions]

thanks for the tip

[@Squintillions]

Humor on point. Glad you took your daughter to the Moxi museum, it is really cool for young kids. The Natural History museum is also nice for kids, with a small planetarium. Rory’s ice cream is another good ice cream place, in the Santa Barbara Market building.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks! We'll at the Natural History Museum and Rorys to our list for next time!

[@Squintillions]

@@YellowProductions Oops, I think autocorrect changed the spelling. It is Rori's in the Santa Barbara Public Market on the corner of Chapala and Victoria. Also, there is a cool, castle type playground in Alameda Park that the Princess would love. Maybe you too, haha!

[@dommytsunami86]

Dang what a beautiful place! Another fun informative video! Thank you for sharing bro! YP4L!

[@jm4020]

Really surprised you didn't mention the zoo. One of the best ways to spend half a day in Santa Barbara is in the zoo.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the additional tip

[@fivebagspacked]

Nice! Santa Barbara with kids is awesome. We enjoyed Stearns Wharf, The Mission, and Kid's World playground!

[@YellowProductions]

The best!

[@thepeterchannel3230]

Your little girl stole the show. Very cute. Good video. . Informative . Thanks

[@paulstein916]

Cool video on one of my favorite cities to visit.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Paul!

[@jesussepulveda9426]

I can wait to visit Santa Barbara

[@projectdelta50]

For that Saturday morning fresh seafood, its not ALMOST fresh off the boat, its actually directly off the boat. We arrive there about 3am and takes us a couple hours to get things setup. You wont get any fresher anywhere in the world. - A Commercial Crabber in the area. Also McConnells flagship spot was on mission street, they only moved downtown recently.

[@YellowProductions]

Right on projectdelta! No comment about "almost" fresh off the boat is it would be kind of cool to have a pier where the seafood could actually be sold from the boat :)

[@CatherineSui-Miller]

Cute video. We drive down from SF with our pup for our annual no-brainer getaway. The town is so charming and dog friendly. We always stay at the Hotel Californian due to its awesome location by the beach and the funk zone.

[@YellowProductions]

Nice! Thanks for the report on the Hotel Californian!

[@fairysiddiqui7037]

Thanks, Chris 👍❤️

[@YellowProductions]

My pleasure!

[@landporte1593]

There's so much to do in Santa Barbara. You missed showing the turtle fountain and hidden passages in the shopping/theater districts. You definitely could spend another day there. We did many things on our trips too. So much to cover there. From the train depot, art museum, museum of natural history, the Santa Barbara botanical gardens, Mission Rose Gardens, the orchid nurseries, the Santa Barbara historical museum, and the free karpeles manuscript Library/museum, the adobe, carriage museum. Ive visited Santa Barbara 4 times. The Four Seasons used to have an amazing Christmas holiday lobby display, but it's been closed for awhile. Your video was insightful too and covered a lot, but you would probably need to stay a week in Santa Barbara to see everything..did you go to the Sacred place in summerland?

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks. We definitely could have spent a few more nights. This was all we could capture in a 2 night trip 😀

[@landporte1593]

Have you been to the Sacred space yet? It's a gift store with an enchanted garden that makes you feel like you are in Thailand or Bali. Hope you can/were able to visit.

[@SteveSiz]

​@@landporte1593great spot.. with only 2 days, Summerland is a stretch.

[@itzyogirl100]

I’m looking to go for my birthday in January. I plan on taking the train from LA. Are you able to advise on some hotels downtown?

[@YellowProductions]

We stayed at the Hotel Virginia and enjoyed it. We've also stayed at the Doubletree on the beach and that was nice. Those are the only two I have personal experience with

[@landporte1593]

Kyle's Kitchen is a budget restaurant in Santa Barbara. There are places to eat on a budget in Santa Barbara.

[@jsil36]

Perfect timing, wife and I are going to SB the week of September 4th.

[@YellowProductions]

Enjoy SB!

[@stargazer5073]

Historic tip: SB was destroyed by an earthquake and it was rebuilt in the Spanish style to draw in businesses and tourists, much like Solvang.

[@oshaba12]

That's not true lmao

[@ES-hr6vg]

@@oshaba12I never heard of it either but it’s true. It happened in 1925 and destroyed much of downtown. My parents moved there in the early 60’s and I was born at Goleta Valley Hospital in 1968.

[@vegastocali]

​@ES-hr6vg I was born in Goleta too

[@vegastocali]

​@@ES-hr6vgand I never heard of this before today Wow😮

[@stargazer5073]

Wow, impressive information We stay in Ventura, CA hotels and drive up to Santa Barbara to save money 💰.

[@YellowProductions]

That's a good tip Stargazer.. Ventura hotels are definitely way cheaper

[@BillGreenAZ]

Great idea!

[@bevvyloo7952]

The McConnell’s ice cream is delicious! We spent 2 nights in Santa Barbara on our recent California Road Trip in May - we loved it! It was our first visit to California from the UK & we found lots of your vlogs very helpful. Thank you 😍

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks BevvyLoo!

[@itzyogirl100]

What hotel would you recommend?

[@bevvyloo7952]

@@itzyogirl100 we stayed at the the Motel 6 Classic in SB - it’s nothing like any other Motel 6 I’ve seen & it’s all done really retro & colourful. It’s also in a great location & a short walk to the beach

[@joep4235]

Ha ha ha... You can check out anytime you like from the Hotel Californian, but you can never leave 😄. Thanks Chris !

[@YellowProductions]

Very good Joe! I'm glad someone got the reference 😀

[@natalietran1997]

Sweet bonding for you twos!

[@SteveSiz]

Local here. I know you are from San Diego because you skipped the biggest segment of our local food diet; Mexican Food. So people not from So-cal, may want to experience when visiting (I get that the seafood is more local) Great Video!! I have seen all of the things you mentioned, but it was amazing that you came when you could experience them all for one video.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the addition of Mexican Food as something to eat. I agree 😀

[@kiransharma7848]

Very interesting place..

[@kiransharma7848]

Aww so shweet ! Love little princess reaction to sea urchin... 'No'...😂

You are so welcome!

[@jameshiga8077]

Hi Chris. Thanks for the wonderful video. I always thought that Santa Barbara was a more upscale area. But it seems to be a pretty laid back area to visit. The food is amazing. I love that seafood market at the harbor. I envied you eating those fresh sea urchins. If I'm in the area. I will definitely check out the seafood for sure. Take care.

[@YellowProductions]

Mmm. Hopefully you can get some Santa Barbara uni soon! 😀

[@artvandellay4088]

Santa Barbara 😀

[@ElectricRick]

I never knew Santa Barbara was such a wonderful place ❤

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed! Lots of cool stuff in SB!

[@markcummings3146]

Wasn't this the location for hte eighties cult classic the "Lost Boys"? Looks really nice especially compared to LA.

[@EMVelez]

That was Santa Cruz. Further north.

[@leopostel3244]

If you're a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fan , Santa Barbara is Sunnydale.

I was planning on coming there for the weekend with a family of 5. The price of food is scaring me.

[@wizirbyman]

fun fact, the purple sea urchins are actually an invasive species in the santa barbara coast and are growing at such a fast rate that they're actually negatively affecting the offshore ecosystem lol so eat all the pruple sea urchins you can!!!

[@YellowProductions]

Mmmm!

[@prizraks1534]

stay in carpenteria and take the bus to SB

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

🌴🌴🌴💯👍

[@sergios.8690]

Hot dog with mayonnaise, mashed potato, mustard and ketchup is good option.

[@epicwhat001]

I was getting gas and looking for a place to park my RV for a minute. it was 3 am so I am tired. every single person I talk to has some sort of opinion about politics and how the world works and they are very vocal about it ( from the homeless person to the gas attendant and the security guard that kick me out of the parking lot.)
