year round baseball

overall, it's been a good experience for our family. we're from the Pacific NW (rain 9 months of the year - ick, no thank you!) and THAT is depressing as hell.
Ventura is beautiful. when we first moved here, it was MUCH more expensive. the prices have come down considerably, bubble has burst, people have chilled out as far as thinking they are sitting on gold in real estate. please - get real. (thank goodness) still, we'll be heading to Arizona with the kids when they're ready...prices are just too tempting and it's much more conservative although it's not nearly as liberal as nearby Santa Barba.
All in all, I think you get out of it what you put into it and there ARE activities for kids if your kids are willing to put the effort into it - mine play ball year round, active in academics, husband coaches both kids, we do beach things, occasionally camp, do church things and do day trips, weekend outings. it's a good place to have a family.
