Many of us living in Ventura County are ‘transplants.’  We were born some place else and luck enough now to call Ventura County our Home. 

This is the case for both of us.  Greg was born in New Jersey and his family moved to Ventura County (specifically Thousand Oaks – the Conejo Oaks tract before it was a tract) when he was a small child.  So he really did not know what it was like to live any where else.  He did do approximately a five year stint in  Washington, D. C. ‘in another life’ when he worked in the environmental field. 

I, on the other hand, have now officially lived half of my life in Ventura County being transplanted from Louisville, Kentucky. 

This past week I travelled back east to the Washington, D. C. area where my son and his family lives.  

Did I ever forget what it is like to live back there in the summer! 

• Humidity -  yuck is the best word to describe
• Air conditioning – blasts of cold air
• Thunderstorms – nearly every day
• Lighting – my son’s house was hit by lighting
• Mosquitoes – don’t forget to spray Off
• Traffic – you think the 101 is bad – nope.

We always inform new ‘transplants’ to Ventura County that we might pay alot for our blue skies here but it is so worth it. 

It’s good to travel.  In my case it was great seeing my son and his family.  Traveling also makes you aware of the little things that many of us take for granted at home. 

We are happy to call Ventura County home.  There’s no place like home….especially a Ventura County home.
