CA Trip - L.A. & Ventura


We headed down to L.A. to visit some more family down there and have another open house where we got to catch up with some family there that we hadn't seen in quite a while. It was great to see everyone and we really enjoyed seeing and catching up with everybody. Aunt Mollie (in the picture above) is Blake's Great Aunt. Doesn't she look great for being 92? Wow, hope we got some of those genes :-)

After the couple days we were in L.A. we headed up the coast to Ventura. On the way there we stopped in Santa Monica and a couple beaches up the coast to visit the ocean. That's one thing that we don't see much of in CO. We had a nice time walking around, feeling the sea breeze and smelling the salty air. The weather was good (no marine layer) and it was warm. It was great. We had lunch at our old workplace (while we were living in Kona, HI), Bubba Gumps. It was good...reminiscent...

In Ventura we caught up to some friends from college and got to meet their little girl. We hadn't seen them in quite a while...it was fun to hear how things are going and what they are up to these days.

On to SLO, CA...tri-tip sandwich here we come...
