Ojai and Maricopa Highway

October 16, 2018October 16, 2018 Brian Leave a comment

Once again, we did not have firm plans for the day.  All we had planned was to see the town of Ojai, but once we got there, we decided to just keep heading up the road into the mountains to see where it goes.  This is the Maricopa Highway (CA33).  We were greeted by stunning […]

Channel Islands National Park

Today was our biggest planned event of the trip – an excursion to the Channel Islands National Park.  We arrived early to the boat dock, so we went into the national park visitor center to look around.  There were a lot of great exhibits to see and get acquainted with the flora and fauna on […]

Shoreline 5K and Exploring Ventura

October 11, 2018October 11, 2018 Brian Leave a comment

We had an early start to the day as we were participating in the Shoreline 5K.  The organization of the race was a bit lacking.  We arrived about an hour before the race start and the entire setup was in a state of disarray.  The start was slightly delayed as they finished setting things up, […]

Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach

October 10, 2018November 5, 2019 Brian Leave a comment

After checking out of the Kimpton Canary, we spent the day with family in Burbank.  We then drove to Ventura and checked in to the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach. The hotel was a pretty standard Crowne Plaza conference hotel.  Like the Kimpton Canary, the location of the hotel is excellent.  It sits right on the […]

Kimpton Canary Hotel – Santa Barbara

October 9, 2018October 9, 2018 Brian Leave a comment

We chose the Kimpton Canary Hotel for our time in Santa Barbara.  We really liked our stay at the Kimpton DeWitt Amsterdam and were looking forward to another stay at a Kimpton hotel. The hotel location could not be beat.  The hotel is located right in the middle of downtown, just off State Street.  Property in this […]

Exploring Santa Barbara

October 8, 2018October 8, 2018 Brian Leave a comment

We did not have a real schedule for today.  The plan was just to explore Santa Barbara.  It was a beautiful day, so we decided to walk through town and up to the Santa Barbara Mission.  Along the way, we admired the 2.5 million dollar homes with perfect gardens.  Eventually, we made it to the […]

Wine Tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley

October 5, 2018October 5, 2018 Brian Leave a comment

Our plan for the day was wine tasting and exploring the Santa Ynez Valley.  We got a later start to the day since most of the places we wanted to visit did not open until late morning.  We packed up some sandwiches and began the drive over the mountains into the valley.  It was a […]

Escape Lounge MSP and Travelling to Santa Barbara

October 4, 2018November 5, 2019 Brian Leave a comment

We left home on an early morning flight.  Thankfully, Baby B slept the entire first flight to Minneapolis. We learned from this trip that we will have to choose flights around sleeping times from now on rather than by price or convenience. Total melt downs are no fun for anyone. During our layover in Minneapolis, […]

Santa Barbara and Ventura Trip – Introduction

October 3, 2018November 5, 2019 Brian Leave a comment

This trip was a big change for us to say the least.  Earlier in the year, Baby B made his entry into the world.  Nonetheless, we wanted to continue travelling as much as possible.  That meant getting him used to flying and being on the road as soon as possible.  He has already taken several […]
