Getting Down to Business for the Bro
My brother is coming for a visit to Ojai (I’ve been lobbying for this for quite awhile!) and I’m running around like a maniac trying to figure out what we should do. He’s a successful lawyer in Arizona (don’t ask how he ended up there) with two adorable little kids. So, I’m taking a week off of work and we are going to enjoy ourselves.
But, since I’m pretty new to Ojai, I’ve been trying to brush up on the scene and figure out what we should do while he’s here. Turns out there are an amazing amount of options! Now, since the kids are quite young, I had to rule out a few of my best ideas. I want to go Jeeping sometime. Doesn’t that sound great? But Jerry vetoed the idea for now.
So, we are going to take a day to visit Lake Casitas and go boating. I’ve heard that Casitas Water Adventure is supposed to be great as well, so we might check that out while we are by the lake.
I think the kids both cycle, so I want to take them on a bicycle ride as well. I ride the Ojai Valley Trail by myself all the time, so I figure that they’ll enjoy that one. And I’ve lined up a great hike for us on the Gridley Trail so that we can check out Ojai Valley from the top. It shouldn’t be too strenuous a hike, and I’m hoping the kids will get into that.
Alright, I’m getting tired just thinking about entertaining the family for a week. Time for bed for me! Gotta save up my energy for this adventure!
