I was just thinking about Santa Barbara as a destination this morning. Early June could have some nice weather. Later in June you could have fog. Day trips can be taken to Ojai, Los Angeles and the Santa Ynez valley.
Another thought I had is the Alisal Ranch in the Santa Ynez valley. It is sort of a dude ranch. It has a golf course, tennis and horses. You would be guaranteed sun. It would be a 35 minute drive into Santa Barbara. A bit less time to hit the coast. Santa Ynez Valley is a well known for wine tasting. Don’t know if the outdoor theatre is open yet in early June. [Vacation Specials - The Alisal Guest Ranch in Santa Ynez Valley](http://www.alisal.com/packages.html) Ebeee might have more to add about the SY Valley. For those who have an interest there is also a casino. I have never been but some people like it.
The Santa Barbara airport is a real gem. On American, United and Delta it is often the same price as flying into LAX or not much more.
