We love Ventura.It is a great place for the winter.My brothers,My Son, the wives, and,myself all went to the rose bowl to watch ASU beat UCLA for the Pac Ten South title.We ate lots of hot dogs and cheered ASU to victory.
 |
| It was a close game all the way til the end |
 |
| The Rose Bowl is one of the finest venues in the country to enjoy football.I have watched 1 Rose bowl and 4 or 5 ASU-UCLA games in this Stadium |
 |
| Back at the Resort, Mr. Security is on the job keeping the guests in line and happy.Its a tough job.But somebody has to do it! |
 |
| No 2 sunsets are the same.Each one is unique |
 |
| When we are at the beach the Taco House is our favorite spot for lunch.We have been there so many times,they know us on a first name basis |
 |
| This is the Ventura beach pier.Good food and good fishing off the pier. |
 |
| We walk the seashore and sit and enjoy the scenery |
 |
| One of my brothers neighbors son plays high school football for Santa Barbara so we went to his game. |
 |
| While in Santa Barbara,we just had to sample the wine at one of their Wineries.We had taken the train from Ventura and it was late for our return trip so we "Stomped some grapes!" |

We are living the good life here in Ventura.Doing a lot of site seeing and enjoying the company of my brother Gary and his wife Martha.With 5 days off a week,we have lots of time to explore the area.
Our Daughter Katie and her family,and my Son and his boys came over for Thanksgiving . we all had dinner at Mimi's so nobody had to cook or clean.We all spent Friday Saturday at the resort enjoying Karaoke and live music.Sunday we were Toast!
The weather here has been so summer like but it is supposed to turn cooler this week.
We are in the planning stages for our big road trip for this summer.We have made reservations for Yellowstone National park for early June already and finalizing a plan for the summer trip as to what and how far we will travel.
Christmas is almost upon us as the year is almost gone, We have more family coming in for Christmas and it will be party central again in Ventura. We are livin the La Vida Bueno!
