Staycation Winter Break 2023

We have a long winter break, y'all. We don't have any travel plans, so I have been collecting ideas for things to do at this time of year (separate from the holiday events).  Here are the ideas I have collected. (It looks like we will get some rain too, so I separated into indoor and outdoor.)  Let me know in the comments or on Facebook if you have other ideas. We love to try new things.

Santa Barbara and Goleta (indoor):
* Visit Museum of Natural History (our review)
* Cruise over to the Sea Center (our review)
* Play at the  Maritime Museum (our review)
* Create at the  Museum of Art (no review--must fix that soon!)
* Explore the MOXI (our review)

Santa Barbara and Goleta (outdoor):
* Go sock skating at the MOXI (our review)--sock skating is on the roof and is closed when it rains.
* Take a look at the butterflies at the Ellwood Bluffs (our review)
* See the animals at Santa Barbara Zoo 
* Explore the Botanic Gardens
