Ventura cool


After our 109-degree afternoon, we dashed to Ventura Saturday after naptime.

Phew! See the relief on Violet's face?

It should no longer catch me off-guard, but there is still something weird about traveling 40 miles and watching the car's temperature gauge drop 40 degrees.

Yep, it was 68 when we got to the coast. Not exactly "jump in the sea" weather, unless your name is Stacey.

(Saying that, it was "fall in the sea" weather for a certain 16-month-old, on her 16-month birthday... Oops.)

We made friends with a little boy who was also 4, and they worked together on a big sand castle and moat.

The final photo shows Stace, in his California cool shirt, with his current facial hair. He's been working this GQ stubble thing the past couple of weeks, an almost-but-not-quite beard.
