Is it crazy hot where you live? It’s in the high 90’s, low 100’s here in the San Francisco Bay Area right now! It’s so warm, we are all melting! In order to escape the heat, and also take one last quick trip before school starts, we decided to take a mini road trip down to Ventura.
If you are not familiar with the California coast, Ventura is a small beach town south of Santa Barbara. It’s not super crowded, and it has a large harbor, good restaurants, and plenty of cool fog! Love fog right now!
Our first day in Ventura felt so good. It was roughly thirty degrees cooler than at home, and we actually felt a little bit cold. This was such a good thing! We left home in the morning and drove for five hours down the coast. We arrived in Ventura around 2:30pm and checked into our hotel. We stayed at the Four Points Sheraton near the Village, which is a small shopping area next to the boat harbor. It has shops, restaurants, and a carousel which was closed-boo for us! It was a nice place to stay since we could walk to the restaurants, and enjoy harbor views.
We ate dinner at Water’s Edge, which is not in the Village, but a short walk on the other side of the harbor. The food was out of this world! I enjoyed the “Trophy Pasta” which was crazy good-and my family really enjoyed their meals too. If you are ever in the Ventura area, this is a restaurant you will want to visit! The views of the harbor are beautiful, you can watch the sunset, and the food is really yummy. Love that!

Wow, that sounds like the perfect little getaway! I used to live out in California and absolutely loved how you could just take little trips down the California coast and turn up on a little beach somewhere. These are beautiful pics and you definitely look like you succeeded in escaping the heat! Xx.
It has been so hot in Boston the last few weeks but it’s finally cooling down! I always feel so guilty spending time inside on the weekends it I just can’t handle the heat! Love this outfit.

I’m sure there are no shortages of perfect beach towns along the California coast. This one looks so cute! Glad you enjoyed a break from the heat!
I would just loooove to go anywhere right now that ISN’T hot! I am soo not a summer person, so anywhere that would allow me to beat the heat would be spectacular. Ventura sounds like the perfect place.
It’s so hot in NY as well, but escaping the heat into an air conditioned room is totally not as fun going out to eat!

This is such a cute striped pullover. A great transitional piece for fall!
Okay, but that sunset though! What a pretty view.
Weekend getaways are the best!! Sometimes it seems i get more done on short trips like that vs the long ones!! Can’t wait to see what else y’all did while there!

I live in NJ and it has been HOT! I am hoping it cools down just a little over the next few weeks. Not ready for fall year but could use a break from the humidity.
