Monterey & Santa Barbara - where to go/stay?

[lizardbrains]

Okay, so... this isn't really a "wine" question, but more of a "where should I go/stay?" question.

DH, DD, and I are going on vacation. We'll be staying in Monterey & Santa Barbara. Do you have any recommendations on places to stay? I was thinking maybe a bed & breakfast? Something inexpensive, but not a Motel 6!

Also, anywhere that we could do winetasting with a 5 month old baby? If not a winery, maybe a restaurant to recommend to us?

Any suggestions for us? We're new at the baby-thing, so I'm not sure how that's going to fit in. But this is also our first vacation since our honeymoon 4 years ago, so we'd like to make it a good one.

And of course, the military doesn't really allow for much planning, so we'll be leaving tomorrow (in about 24 hours!) - so if you could respond in the next day, that would be great. :-)

I would appreciate any and all advice!

Thanks,
Elizabeth
