John & Sabine came for a visit this weekend. I conned them into helping out at the Ojai Raptor Center for a continuation of building the flight pen.With more hands, more tools, and one more ladder, we moved much faster this week. We only worked until lunchtime, but got as much done as last weekend. If I can recruit a few more folks, we should be able to knock this out next weekend!
After working in the sun, we thought Tacos N Beer would be the perfect reward. Alas, I think TnB has shuttered. It was closed on Saturday. So sad.
We went for a little kayak trip (thanks Megan, for use of your boats) in the harbor in the afternoon.
Then we headed to The Cave, a wine shop/bar in Ventura. The owner, Nick, is an institution in Ventura. I initially found out about Nick because I met his daughter-in-law in Haines, AK last summer. The food was yummy, and the experience was interesting. Easy to spend more money than you think.
Sunday morning, we met John & Sabine's friend Matt for brunch at The Sidecar Restaurant - they use locally raised produce. Yummy brunch, great conversation, lots of fun.
After brunch, we took a little walk on the beach. And took care of the most important business of the weekend - planning our next THREE vacations!
#1 - Portland/Astoria/Mt. St. Helens in just a few weeks
#2 - rafting the Alsek river in Canada / Alaska next summer
#3 - Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver
