Oh no!

While we were here reveling in the lovely weather and admiring my stylish bedhead, my family in California was packing up and evacuating because of an encroaching wildfire! Needless to say, we are very worried about the situation since we are due to be home in Santa Barbara (well, technically in Goleta) in just a few short days.

UPDATE: I spoke with my parents and, at the moment, everything is fine. They haven't actually left the house (although they were asked to do so) because the fire doesn't appear to be imminently threatening (yet). They assured us that they will not be heroes with hoses on the roof, and if things get dire they are already packed and ready to go. So we are less worried now :-)

UPDATE AGAIN: The best place to find updates on the Gap Fire in Santa Barbara and Goleta is HERE.

Hi Lisl & Fam!

We were up in SB for the 4th, and took part in all the fire drama, but we were watching closely the proximity to your parents house! I'm glad they were ok!!
