Goleta Butterfly Grove visit and Spencer Makenzie’s

March, 2016 – Some time during March, a friend and I went for a morning walk along the Goleta butterfly grove, which leads to coastal pathways. Monarch butterflies migrate to Goleta November through February. The Grove is open from sunrise to sunset, there is no admission fee. You are welcome to support the Monarch Butterfly Docent Program through donations. For more information visit their webpage: www.goletabutterflygrove.com

We spent a few hours walking along the coast and having philosophical conversations about life … as you may imagine. On our way back to the Ventura County, we stopped by Spencer Makenzie’s in Ventura, CA to grab food. Thanks to yelp we experienced this little seafood gem near Ventura harbor/downtown. The restaurant is casual, cozy and lively. Perfect for a Saturday late afternoon lunch. The menu contained an assortment of fish tacos, burritos and classic items. Even though, they are known for their famous tacos we decided to try the Parker Burger. No regrets! This juicy Seared Ahi Tuna Steak burger was delicious … just thinking about it, makes my mouth watery.
