We are back from our adventures. We had such a great time! Our first week was spent on our annual family trip to Oxnard with my side of the family. We kicked off the first day, before we met up with family, to have lunch at Padaro Grill:
It just feels like vacation to us!
Then we headed to the beautiful house to meet up with our family and then head to dinner at Toppers Pizza:
Then it was back to the house for games and for little people to pass out from at the excitement:
Over the next days we spent time at the beach surf fishing, paddle boarding, playing spike ball, body surfing, boogie boarding, building sand castles, looking for shells, finding sand crabs, playing Irish darts, and getting lots of time together making memories:
Farmer's Market for fun treats:
We spent time in Ventura, going to Spencer Mackenzie's for their famous fish burrito, then walking to the Ventura Pier, which is the longest wooden pier on the California coast, then getting ice cream down town:
Walking to the Pier:
Downtown Ventura for Ben and Jerry's:
We spent two days, in two groups, because of how many bikes we had, riding our bikes on the Ojai Trail. This was a highlight for us!
Then we ate sandwiches:
The girls had fun doing art:
We played "Werewolf":
Kit and I had a quick date in Ojai:
We ate at Spencer Makenzie's again...
We got to have our Grandi and Monkey Papa come down for dinner and we got to be with him when he had his first margarita:
The girls went on a double date with the dads:
We enjoyed the rooftop deck:
We put two puzzles together:
And overall just enjoyed being together:
Mia and Papa, thank you so much for making this trip a possibility and such a highlight of our year!
