Alisal Dude Ranch

Mama & Daddy surprised me last weekend with a weekend trip down to the Santa Barbara mountains.  For 37 years, Daddy's paternal family has met at the Alisal Guest Ranch every summer for a family reunion.  This year was my second time there, but I completely took advantage of it this time!

Tons of family time with my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents, combined with horseriding, barnyard fun, hay rides, BBQs, games, pool time, and fancy dinners made for an amazing weekend.
See my antics below.
