Alissa: Getting to Goleta (the home of UCSB) from Santa Maria involves gaining well over 3,000 feet in elevation. So, we decided to polish off a third of that and stop in the city of art and flowers, Lompoc, CA. Our day started and ended with a long, continuous series of strip malls. CVS, Walgreens, Albertsons, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Auto Zone, and so on. In between, we passed many more strawberry fields (during which I told Glen that I might have to pick one at some point for, you know, quality control).
We arrived in Lompoc in time for lunch then a wine tasting at Longoria for Glen, which he declared his favorite wines of the trip thus far.
