Ventura Day Out

When we were in England in June, we bumped into a cousin of Stacey's, and learned he was planning a trip to Texas for business in the fall. We invited Wes to include a stop in sunny SoCal, and he agreed. 

Wes arrived Thursday night, and we've had fun showing him SClarita and our life here. On Saturday, after Cora's softball game, we went out to Ventura for lunch at our favorite fish place in the harbor.

We walked through Harbor Village, down to the Channel Islands Visitor Center. The girls listened to the park ranger's tide pool talk, and touched the lobster shell. 

We put our feet in the sand and surf for a bit, before going into downtown Ventura to see the shops.















One of the neat motorcycle-and-clothing shops had this fun bike and sidecar out front. A friendly employee invited the girls to climb aboard for a photo opp.

We went back toward the ocean, and after stopping for frozen yogurt, enjoyed a gorgeous California beach sunset. A perfect day!
