For the Fourth of July holiday weekend, my family and I took a little weekend getaway! We visited Oxnard, Channel Islands, Camarillo, Ventura, and Ojai. These are all cities located near Santa Barbara. I had an awesome time and would definitely visit again soon! Glad I came during the holiday weekend because Ventura did an awesome job of making the city come to life for the Fourth of July! Here are some of the pictures I took while I was there. I hope all of you had a fun and safe weekend with your family and friends!

Beautiful sandy beaches of Oxnard! |
 |
Taken in front of the Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach |
 |
Perfect place for an afternoon lounge |
 |
These are all organic sorbets filled inside their original shells! I had a mango one and it was delicious; the skin was edible too! |
 |
Found at a Farmers Market on Channel Island. 10/10 would recommend! |
 |
Had a delicious lunch at Otani's Fish Market in Oxnard! Pictured above: Fresh grilled shrimp and red snapper |
 |
I think I found the winners for Most Spirited Family for the 4th of July! |
 |
4th of July street fair in Ventura |
 |
San Buenaventura Misson! This building is over 300 years old. |
 |
Inside courtyard of the mission. |
 |
More pics from the street fair! The street was lined with tents from local businesses, shops, and food. |
 |
Cont. of the street fair. It was very festive w/ a great vibe! |
 |
Picked up this cool sign from one of the vendors at the fair. You could pick out any background/base you want, and they'll personalize it for you! Loved how it turned out. |
 |
Candid from Ventura Beach, which was just a few blocks away from the fair. The whole beach was lined with American flags for the holiday! |
 |
W/ the fam(acting silly of course) on Ventura Pier, the longest wooden pier in California! |
 |
After lots of walking, finally got to the end of the pier. Naturally, I had to take a snap. |
 |
Cont. from the pier ft. me and my airbrushed tat! |
 |
Made it back home just in time for the fireworks. It was hard to get a good pic of the fireworks, but I tried my best! Here's a few of my favorites. |
