Ventura County Life

Ahhh, sweet rest!
After a LONG day exploring San Fran and driving down the coastal highway, Chelsea and I took our liberties "sleeping in." However, since we were both still slightly on Central Time, sleeping in didn't go much past 10 am. We explored the area a little bit by heading down to the harbor, where there's a shopping area, and of course the beach. The wind whipped pretty good, however, and it was chilly enough to give me the shivers. Nonetheless, it was a sight to behold. I had forgotten just how much I loved the ocean.
We made our last stop at the Channel Islands "museum", which was just a little area with a small aquarium (where we saw a sea star eating muscles), and got a gorgeous view of the harbor and ocean.

After heading back, we had dinner and just chilled the rest of the night - which was much needed after a 4-day sightseeing and driving journey.
Sunday after the church service, we headed out to the Pier. There were so many people, with kids playing in the ocean or on the playground, families laying on the beach, people fishing off the pier.
Chelsea and I headed to a strand of rocks that poked out from the shore and climbed our way out. It was crawling atop the rocks that we discovered all the little crabs! They were almost everywhere! about the size of my fist, they would crawl across the rocks into the crevices between the rocks. I don't remember if I've ever seen a crab walk before, but I certainly have now - it's incredible and weird how they walk sideways!

Chelsea and I enjoyed the pier for a while, then headed back to chill for our last Sunday together. 13 Going on 30 is a perfect fix for the "chill" factor.
