Beachside Bar and Cafe: 07/30/07
I know... I know... It's taking just about forever to get through our trip. The trip only lasted three days and I'm still writing about it three weeks later. Oh well. What can I say? We had fun.

We had lunch after our trip to the museum at the Beachside Bar and Cafe at the edge of the Goleta Beach Pier. The last time we ate here was 1999 during our anniversary. We were in the middle of our move up to the Bay Area from South Pasadena. Most times we didn't stop while schlepping our stuff but it was our anniversary and we were in need of a break to keep our sanity.

We tried once in 2002 to stop for lunch with Sean but the entire beach was without power. No power meant no ability to cook. So we were out of luck. We ended up playing on the sand for a few minutes and then heading up the freeway for lunch somewhere else.

Sunday the 15th, the restaurant was happily open and there wasn't much of a line even though the place was packed for lunch. We quickly got a seat inside by the window with a perfect view of the beach. Harriet and I shared a Cobb salad (though not a traditional dressing, one with a lime based one instead). Ian had a bowl of their chowder in a bread bowl (a favorite of his) and Sean had a quesadilla on a cute blue and white fish shaped dish. We had as lovely a lunch as our dinner the night before at CPK.
