| Sherry's birthday fun began at home, Castle Buckeye, with presents & homemade pineapple upsidedown cake made with TLC by me from the authentic Aunt Rene family recipe (thanks Terry!) |
| Our kidnapping destination was the Rose Garden Inn, Ojai, CA |
| The Inn's backyard afforded a view of the mountain top the locals call "The Chief" |
| Suzanne's Cuisine provided elegant dining, including a special dessert for the birthday girl |
| Sea Fresh Seafood had great food, & local atmosphere! We viewed this from our booth LOL. With their own fishing boat they caught this 16 ft great white shark on the farside of Catalina Island (photos below shark) |
| To the left and below, we took a spin up the coast to Santa Barbara. We rode one of our favorite carousels, and did some shopping, where we listened to these Christmas carolers in front of a giant Christmas tree. To the right, we enjoyed hour and a half massages at The Day Spa in Ojai |
