Food and eating is the credo of the Doran's.There isn't many foods we don't like.My brother his wife,Jeni and myself tried out this concept this month.The verdict is still out on the success of it.
We have wined and dined at some assume places but I think our pocketbooks and waistlines have taken a beating.But we persevered.When February came we decided we better scale back.
We started on my birthday when Gary and Martha took us out to Mexican food.After dining at some of Ventura's fine eateries, we surrender! Back on track for us all.Back to the beach.Ah my wallet is feeling better already.
Our old microwave/convection oven gave it up so we bought a new one.another hit to the ole wallet in January.It also didn't get a lot of use either with our "pig out in Ventura month!"
No its not Madi Gras or Carnival,Its us at a Superbowl party.Jeni and Martha were kinda for Denver,I was kinda for Seattle,and Gary was well for the "Leather heads!

Jeni and Martha at their favorite place....the beach!I'm gonna have to keep an eye on her or she might be looking for a condo here in Ventura.
Jeni and I enjoy cruising down Santa Barbara for a nice breakfast on the beach.The seaside cafe fits the bill.It has a Mexican theme to its menu.Great food and a great view.This place was on our January" pig out" itinerary.
Our dining adventures always ended with a trip to Starbucks on Main St.Mainly to counteract the wine from dinner.
One of our dining venues,The"wine rack".We sampled a large variety of local vino's and enjoyed some appetizers.We took a taxi home after this evening.
Dinner at Casa Fiore for some great Italian food and pretty loud regee music.Luckily we were seated way in the back.After this night we said uncle!We can't eat and drink our way through Ventura....But it was sure fun trying.
Jeni and I have about 2 and a half months left here at Ventura Beach Resort.We have been picking up more hours of work now which is alright with us.We have run up a pretty big tab for partying in January so the extra work is a blessing.
Once we leave here we will head back to Park Sierra to get ready for our summer travels.Then off to Sacramento to get some repairs to the RV,see the kids then off to Yellowstone National Park.But we still have a lot to do here in Ventura.Whale watching,sightseeing,the beach,and more Santa Barbara.
January was a blast and I enjoyed a great birthday dinner at Sories Mexican restaurant and we ate and drank.and ate and drank........Too much fine dining!
