While I cannot imagine returning to a life involving icy windshields, fourteen different types of winter coats, or surprise snowstorms on my birthday (which, mind you, is in MAY), I do love getting to be a tourist in the enormous, exciting, and absolutely beautiful city I once called home. Here are the activities my kids and I have enjoyed during our twice-yearly visits to Chicagoland.

Hometown Travel Guide: Santa Barbara With Kids
Since moving back to my hometown of Santa Barbara in 2020, I’ve gained an even greater appreciation for the place that raised me. I feel both like a total native AND like a newcomer (22 years away is a long time!), often in the same day or even the same moment. I’m also fiercely proud of the local culture in Santa Barbara, which continues to evolve but has always celebrated family-owned businesses, the arts, and of course the natural beauty, wine, and surf culture that the area is known for. Santa Barbara is a great place for families, but it’s also a really popular getaway for couples and girls weekends, so I’ve tried to put together recommendations that work for whatever brings you to town. If you visit and try any of these recommendations, please let me know!
