In August we took a trip to Oxnard, CA. Steve had to go there for work so we tagged along. We spent a week in a beautiful hotel ON THE BEACH. It was gorgeous and we had a blast.


The view of the hotel from the beach...


One of the highlights was renting this chariot/surrey thing and cruising up and down along the beach. We had a riot in it.

We reluctantly let Em steer and she was a total maniac. We almost tipped over a few times and she was all over the grass and in the sand. I can't imagine that she'll ever pass a driving test.

Ryan was fearing for his life...

The hotel grounds were gorgeous...



Our view from the hotel...

Ry turned 13 while we were there.

Love this kid!

He wanted to go to the Santa Barbara Zoo for his birthday, so we ventured up there and spent the day. It was a nice little zoo.
This guy kept staring right at me. It kind of freaked me out a little...



We saw quite a few dolphins only about 20-30 yards from where we were sitting on the beach. It was pretty exciting!

I can't get enough of the beach. I was very sad to leave it behind on the last day.













We loved hanging around the Channel Islands Harbor area. We rented a paddle-boat and cruised around for a while. It was beautiful.




I have about 400 more pictures, wanna see 'em? Just let me know....
