Southern California Living - Surf then Snow

Beach I love Ventura County! The picture to the left was taken on a beautiful December day at Silverstrand Beach in Oxnard. It was in the 80's that day and my family and I enjoyed some time at the beach. Coming from Hawaii I was so afraid of the "mainland weather", but was pleasantly suprised to learn that here in Ventura County we have what's called a Mediterranean climate. Basically, our winters are not too cold and our summers are not too hot. Perfect! The ocean however is substanially colder than my Hawaii beaches, I don't know how the kids can bear it...

Another beauty of living in Southern California is that you can drive for a couple hours and be in the mountains playing in snow!! A couple weekends ago my family and I drove out to Mountain High and we had a blast! It is so nice to live in a beautiful coastal community, but to have the option to drive and play in the snow, or ride through the deserts. I sure miss home, but I've come from one paradise to another!

One thing though, no matter how far I drive there is nothing like a true Hawaiian plate lunch. MMMmm, what I would give for Zip Pac from Zippy's in Hawaii.

Aloha from Ventura!
