I went to Santa Barbara for the day so I could visit Stearns Wharf.
Stearns Wharf is a place in Santa Barbara on the water.
This historic pier is filled with dining, shopping, and entertainment. The Wharf is wheelchair-accessible and a good spot for kids. I used to go with my mom every weekend until she moved in with my sister and her family. I went to the wharf Tuesday morning and I had lunch at a restaurant with a view of the lagoon. On my way home from Santa Barbara, I decided to stop at the grocery store to pick up some items for dinner. I stopped at the last grocery store in Santa Barbara, right before the city area ends. The parking lot was filled with cars. It was quite a surprise. I went into the grocery store and it was very busy for a Tuesday. The crowd of people included folks of all different ages. It was impossible to tell why it was incredibly busy. After I left the store, I passed by a brand new marijuana dispensary. The marijuana dispensary was only a block from the grocery store. The place looked busy as well. They had balloons on all of the telephone posts and the cars were painted with green cannabis leaves. They were clearly having some kind of grand opening celebration. I’m not sure if the marijuana dispensary in the busy grocery store had anything to do with each other, but I thought it was a strange coincidence on an otherwise boring Tuesday.
