Mother's Day at Ventura Harbor Village

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there whether past, present and soon to be. You’ve probably seen the image below floating around social media. I love it so much because we often forget to consider all types of moms. I lost both of my grandmas long time ago so on this day, I always think of what it would’ve been like to have them around now. And, I’m sure those who have lost their moms feel the pain when this day approaches. So, please know that I’m thinking of you.

My husband and I decided to take a quick adventure on the opposite side of the city (where there is no traffic). We headed to Ventura Harbor Village (near Oxnard, CA) for the first time. It was a different scenery from our usual hangouts (Malibu or Santa Monica) which was nice. We walked around the village, the kids played at a vintage arcade and had a blast, and the scenery was just so beautiful. We ended the trip with the town’s best shrimp tacos - this hole in the wall kind of place. There’s definitely a lot of different water activities such as kayaking, cruise ship tour, whale watching, fishing, and so much more, which we couldn’t fit into our visit that day but hopefully next time around.
