After spending all day with the Burns yesterday and having breakfast with them this morning, we got an early start back to Arizona so we could stop at the California Strawberry Festival in Oxnard, California. On our drives up the coast, we’ll often exit at Central Avenue off the 101 Freeway in Oxnard, where a fruit stand consistently has the sweetest strawberries.

We spotted the signs for the festival and were hoping to have enough time to pay a quick visit, and sure enough, we made it. It’s kind of like the Renaissance Fair but with strawberries instead of overflowing bustiers.

The festival has been going on now for about a dozen years, and if things like strawberry nachos sound good to you, take some time to get to Oxnard around the middle of May.
