101 Things

My parents came to visit this weekend. It is always a challenge to figure out what to do while they are here. Lately, we eat out, a lot. We nap, a lot. We do yard work at Jenny's house. We usually watch a NASCAR race.

So this time, I had some more ideas. I wanted to go see the musical "Wicked" down in Hollywood, but by the time we looked at tickets, they didn't have any of the cheap ones left. I also had a list that I pulled off the internet of 101 things to do and see in Ventura County. We made a good dent in the list. We went to the Union Oil Museum in Santa Paula, got a bag of fresh oranges from a Fillmore fruit stand, found the Fillmore fish hatchery, saw the Ojai Valley from the stop along the Dennison Grade, saw downtown Ojai, did the drive from Santa Paula to Fillmore, found the Motorcycle Monument:The Warning, and saw a view of the city from Grant Park. All in all, we had a really nice relaxing weekend, and we ate out a lot, napped some, did some yard work, and even watched the NASCAR race Saturday night.
