Last August, my boyfriend and I headed up to Santa Barbara for the first time to see Rebelution at the Santa Barbara Bowl. If you haven’t been to a concert there, you should. The venue is incredible and you literally feel like you’re in a bowl on the side of a mountain. I’m not sure if it was the energy from the band, who are from SB or the fact that this was our first show together, but this was definitely my favorite concert I’ve been to (and I’ve seen Rebelution four times now).

Of course we made a whole weekend out of the trip and got to check out what Santa Barbara has to offer. The town is very cute and quaint, with a ton of wineries to try out. I definitely recommend touring around a few of them!
