SoCal Photos: Day 70

Century Theater, Main St. Ventura

Destination: Pierpont Beach

A little slow to the draw, I know, but here we go.  We spent last weekend at Pierpont Beach in Ventura;  a nice getaway not too far from home.  The house we stayed at is available at HomeAway, and was a perfect location and layout for our family.  Of course the weather was a bit overcast most of our trip, as can happen in August in Oxnard and Ventura, but I still managed to get a bit of a tan.  The house was right off of the Pierpont bikepath, which runs from the north end of the marina at Marina Park to the north end of the Ventura County Fairgrounds.  I highly recommend this location for a local beach getaway; there's even a quaint little restaurant row on the west end of Seaward, and you have to go to Duke's burger shack.  Best of all, we went during the Fair, and there's a shuttle that leaves from the Ventura Marriott at the entrance to the neighborhood.  Here's a shot I got from the Ferris Wheel...

Getting out of Town...Sorta

Heading to the V-Town for a beach house vay-cay with the fam for what is debateably a staycation, given that it'll only take about a half tank of gas.  The VC fair is on, so I'll take the opportunity to post on other happenings in So Cal outside of LA city limits this weekend.  Keep the feed rolling!
