Parson Visit

Tom & Nita arrived from Mississippi and we went straight to Cabo Grill for lunch.  The combination of the long flight, 2 Bloody Marys on the plane and a margarita for lunch just about did Nita in!


June 27, 2014
Steve, Linda & Dave arrived from Oregon.  Laura served us bagels and cold cuts for lunch at her place.



June 28, 2014
Tom & Nita stayed at Laura’s, Steve & Linda stayed at a hotel in Camarillo and David stayed aboard Poseidon.  He helped me make homemade pasta for dinner.

June 29, 2014
We started the day aboard Poseidon for Bloody Marys.


And if Dave is in town, you know there is a cribbage game going on:


Tom & Nita had to get an In ‘n Out fix.  Don’t know what it is about out-of-state visitors and these burgers.


We all met back at Laura’s for dinner. 

I helped Tom make Chile Rellenos and Taquitos:


And John grilled Carne Asada for tacos:


A delicious meal!

Steve, Linda & Dave left for home.  The plan was for Dave to go to Catalina with us, but he got sick and had to leave, we were all really disappointed.
John& I went to LAX to pickup Sarah & Brett, arriving from Mobile, Alabama.  We took the coast route and stopped for dinner at Duke’s in Malibu.



July 1, 2014
We headed up the coast to Santa Barbara for lunch at the beach at Shoreline Cafe.




Laura & I headed back to Ventura and Tom, Nita, Sarah & Brett spent the afternoon in Santa Barbara.

Father's Day 5K

This turned out to be our last Father’s Day with Dad.  I am so glad he was there to cheer me on at the Father’s Day 5K. I came in 1st place in my age division!!! And I wasn’t the only entrant – there were two others!





I don't have a clue who these people are but we passed each other several times on the course and when I saw our entry numbers I asked them to pose for a picture.

Dad, Laura and the Weingarten families joined us aboard Poseidon to celebrate Father’s Day.
For lunch – Smoked BBQ Brisket, Pulled Pork, Potato Salad, Grilled Corn and Lemon/Lime Tart with Berries.
