Prima Love

My cousins might as well be my sisters ...I have one brother, but it's not the same as a sister... and I can't tell you enough how much love I have for them all. My mother is the youngest out of 7 in a Mexican family so needless to say I have a lot of cousins... About a week ago my cousin Melissa came over from Maui and in celebration, my other cousin Andrea came up from San Diego and Melissa's sister Rebecca drove up from Manhattan Beach. We spent the day up in Los Olivios wine tasting and had a special time at Demetria. I highly recommend wine tasting in the Valley, you will have an amazing time. If you want to go to Demetria, call ahead of time and make an appointment. Make sure to pick up a lunch at Panino before and bring it along since most properties and vineyards allow you to bring your own picnic.  Who would have known it is Winter...

17Th Annual Chumash Intertribal Pow Wow

This past weekend Kilian and I attended the 17th Annual Chumash Intertribal Pow Wow at the Live Oak Campground off the 154 Highway in the Santa Ynez Valley. I have been wanting to attend this Pow Wow for quite some time as I have a fascination for Santa Barbara County's Native Tribe, The Chumash, and their history with my (their) dear Santa Barbara. It was great to finally be in amongst local tribal leaders and their families as I was completely overwhelmed with Native American culture, beautiful costumes, and awesome jewelry and crafts. We spent the day soaking up local knowledge and getting inspired by a culture that has influenced the West Coast for generations on top of generations. I highly suggest attending a Native American Pow Wow during your lifetime. I hope this is one of many for myself! 

Check the Native American flag with the real eagle head on the top!

Figueroa Mountain

This past Saturday, I took a trip up to Figueroa Mt with Kilian. Super irie up there in the Santa Ynez Mountains, and hopefully the flowers will start blooming later this month, as Spring is almost here. I also hit up the Solvang Skate park that day, for my first time ever rolling around. My digital camera was broke ass but it just came back so more posts soon to fallow!
