A perfect family vacation in Santa Barbara with tweens is as much about finding fun things to do as it is about sitting around and hanging out with your kids. Vacations always include the regular tourist spots (the mission, the Natural History Museum, the majestic courthouse, the harbor and the wharf); but why not spend a day with your tweens like a Santa Barbara local? You can have plenty of time to hang out while seeing the town.
