To Ojai

We're leaving this afternoon for a long weekend here:



For the wedding of our good friends Becky and Shane, in this amazing barn:

To which I am wearing a DVF bubble dress my mom bought me while I was pregnant. But this time I'm belting it so I don't look like I'm expecting my second. Good times.

I can't wait to have breakfast here:



And take Dashiell swimming for the first time. Any last minutes recs for Ojai? My parents are coming with us to watch the little guy while we're at the wedding. So excited for vacation.

PS. We got a crazy deal on a fancy room through Jetsetter. Less than the wedding rate for a huge room with patio, etc. If you guys don't know Jetsetter, you must check it out.

Best cream cheese brownies ever at Farmer and the Cook! Coffee connection (right down the street from F&C) has fantastic beverages and even more fantastic owners! You can get the most wonderful (and cheep) massage at Relaxistation downtown (they take walkins!) Don't miss Sunday mornings Farmers Market; the biggest thing I miss about home, except the fam.

I logged onto Jetsetter and it said I have to wait till a spot opens up to be "allowed" in. Is there anyway you can recommend me? I am very curious and excited at what I see so far...

To sip a great margarita on a patio, try Antonios.

Have a great time!

There is a great bike trail with beautiful views of the hills and this cute coffee shop along the way where they park horses out front!

Oh to spend the weekend in Ojai! (My folks grew up there so we spend a lot of time out there). Pizza at Bocali's under the oak trees, dinner at the Ranch House, a pedicure at the Ojai Valley Inn followed by some lounging by the pool, Harry's Berries at the farmer's market, the little health food store, Rainbow Bridge (I think that's what it's called) is fun, book browsing at Bart's Books outside. Have a marvelous time!

Hi Kristina,

I was wondering if you would add me as a friend on Jetsetter. I have been trying to get on but you can only join if a friend adds you. Not sure what info you might need, but if you reply back I will send you any info you might need.

I would appreciate it.
Kate

HI Kate,

Sure, just send me your email address and I'll "invite" you. Though I think if you just sign up, they'll eventually let you in. But I'd be happy to invite you.
