For the most part, our family took one trip a year together and we were lucky enough to do it in Santa Barbara, California (well, SB, Carpinteria and Montecito).

Yes, having a beautiful place that welcomes you in, is nice, but I’m more concerned about having a place that supports the way you live and then is designed well. (What can I say, I like pretty things). Function over fashion has[...]
