Oxnard - August 2003

We spent a week at a rented beach house in Oxnard (south of Santa Barbara). We went with two other families - the Spahns and the Sages. We had a fantastic time with perfect weather all the time.


The kids got a couple stories every night (from Mr. or Mrs. Spahn). They were always exhausted and fell asleep as soon as the lights went out.

Just down the beach is a big pile of boulders that was placed over a cruise ship that capsized in the 70's. Here Kelly points out the first piece of the ship she found.
