A Nice Getaway

Blaine surprised me with a little get away to Ventura for our Monday Holiday. We left after we came home from church and had lunch changed and packed. We checked into the Best Western in Ventura, had some Chinese Buffet and a nice quiet evening. We slept in and they had a nice continental breakfast, we had waffles. Next we walked to the beach, it was a short walk over the bridge, we sat and watched the ocean for awhile then walked out on the pier.



The sun was out and no wind, it felt warm on our backs. I love the smell and sounds of the ocean and gulls.







We then walked back to our hotel and watched a little TV till it was time to check out, noon. We then headed over to the Ventura harbor and went in some shops, we bought Lexi a little Ventura shirt and then went to the arcade and bought some candy for the boys and Jazmine. I took a picture of the Harbor, it was so beautiful.



Then we decide to go to Port Hueneme for lunch, we went to the beach there and used Blaine's GPS to find a Mexican Grill which happened to be across the street. Next we headed to Oxnard to see a movie in the 14 Cinema, it was a nice theater with stadium seating and rocking seats. We saw Unknown, it was really a good movie, so hard to find these days. Next we headed for home stopping by Subway for dinner and heading to Emilee and Gary's. We had sandwiches, some sweet basil soup and yummy red velvet cake. It was nice to visit then we headed home. I am already ready to go again.
