Yay January in Santa Barbara/Goleta is one of our favorite times to enjoy the Nature trifecta that is a close drive away from our house and such an amazing nature experience!
The Trifecta is the Goleta Butterfly Grove/Ellwood Butterfly Preserve (www.goletabutterflygrove.com). Monarch butterflies migrate to Goleta each November through February and the butterflies combined with the amazing views of the ocean and walking/hiking paths in this grove make it one of the most beautiful places ever! And the Carpinteria Tide Pools!! This time of year there is super low tide and the Carpenteria Tide Pools are amazing to see as you can see so much with the low tide! The third part of the trifecta is the Carpinteria Seal Rookery off of Bailard adn CArpinteria Avenue. Jan-Feb is height of birthing season for the seals and you can stand on the bluff and watch them for hours! WE had too much fund at the other places this time we didn't make it to the Seals but had a stop at Tomol Interactive Play Area - a fun park at 390 Linden Avenue, Carpinteria instead! Tide pool time!
We met up with Amy's family and my parents and Doug and Sheelah for our adventure!
