Camping at Lake Cachuma

Jay has really been wanting to get out of Los Angeles lately, but we've been busy, busy, busy. Since this month is my birthday, we decided to celebrate by finally taking a weekend out of town. We headed to Lake Cachuma just north of Santa Barbara for a couple of nights camping out, and remembering that there are stars in the sky. We drove up on Friday evening, and set up camp. We got up Saturday morning bright and early, and hiked around the lake. Jay took lots of pictures, and that afternoon we took a boat tour of the lake with a state naturalist. She identified many of the local bird species for us, and though we hoped to spot a mountain lion we only saw rabbits and deer. That night was more marshmallow roasting and relaxing by the fire. Sunday we broke camp and headed into Solvang where we visited our favorite Danish bakery for breakfast and went to two of our favorite wineries before heading back to Los Angeles. Below are a few of the pictures I took while we were hiking along the lake Saturday morning.
