Well we are back from our super fast trip to Ventura. It was so nice to visit. I have to confess that when we hit the Johnson exit I cried because we did not exit. We spent our 2 1/2 days with DJ's parents. It was super cold and rainy but we did manage to hit the beach for a couple of short visits. We saw a couple friends but not near as many as we would have liked. We also ended up ditching church Sunday to spend our last hours with DJ's family. That is the reason we came after all.
It was so beautiful and green and smelled wonderful! I did get to eat at marshals, habit and my favorite snapper jacks. On our way out of town we did a quick drive up canada larga road. aghhh and a final short stop at the beach. It was super windy but the kids especially Lucas loved it. We came home with a box full of shells, rocks, sticks and a piece of kelp.
We tried to go to the farmers market and walk up main but due to the pouring rain we just drove by. I did however make it home with 5 avocados and a flat of strawberries we distributed amongst some of my family. We hope to come back soon and stay longer. It was so nice to be back and it was so good to have the kids get reintroduced to there grandparents. They were able to see family they hear about but haven't seen in almost 3 years. They had a marvelous time!
