Short trip back to Ventura

We finally got the ok to leave for our winter home in Mission. I had been invited to my dear friend Arlene Miro's 75th birthday party and before we headed to the Rio Grande Valley, I made a quick trip to Ventura, CA. for Arlene's Awesome 75th birthday bash.

Doctor of Education, mother of seven, world traveler, and now 75 years old. I couldn't miss this party.

The party was held on Ventura Harbor on a paddleboat.  It was decorated beautifully.

Great time was had by all.

Good friend Eva Leckman and her husband. Many other friends Arlene and I shared, but I spent time socializing rather than taking pictures.  You just need to know it was an event I was glad  I didn't miss.
