We stopped in Carpinteria on our way to Aptos, CA. Carpinteria is a very quiet beach town in May. Located south of Santa Barbara beach crowds should be filling this place up when summer starts. Maggie found Oaxaca Fresh next door to the ice cream shop I was looking for. Place looked like a nice […]
