HELLO!
I’m finally doing another travel post! This one isn’t very exotic, but still pretty cool.
I took a road trip to Ojai, California!
Here’s a picture from the ride –
(This is one of the rare times you will see mountains in California actually have green in them :))
Once we got there, we were starving and decided to get some breakfast/ brunch. We found this really cute restaurant and once we walked inside we knew we had to eat there!
It was really cozy, but there was an awesome live band and the decorations inside were really unique and beautiful!



Basically I 10/10 recommend this cafe. It was incredibly friendly and the food was so good that I didn’t even get a chance take a picture of it before I ate it all
Conveniently, right across the street from the cafe was an art show. We had a lot of fun strolling through all the booths and admiring everything. This was such a friendly environment and everyone was just having a good time with their kids and pets!

Now, for my favorite part: THE BOOK FAIR!
(This was right outside of the library)
We had no idea this would be here today but I was so glad it was! We definitely spent some time picking out (a lot) of books..

I picked out a book called “Well Bred and Dead” by Catherine O’Connell and it’s a mystery. I also picked out two vocal scores. This was very out of the blue but they were 50 cents each and I thought why not. Keep in mind, all of these books were used.

After that, we were walking back to our car when we saw this outdoor bookstore. Yes. A bookstore. Outside.
This was quite possibly the most cute, cozy, beautiful, and unique place I’d ever seen!
10/10 RECOMMEND. EVEN IF YOU AREN’T GOING TO BUY A BOOK. JUST GO AND ADMIRE IT.

Honestly these pictures speak for themselves. If you want a magnificent place to read where you are surrounded by a maze of literature ranging from car magazines to classics like “To Kill a Mockingbird”, this is your place.
That concludes this travel post! Hopefully many more to come..
Thank you for reading! I really hope you enjoyed! If you did, I would love if you liked, commented, or followed! 🙂 🙂
I lived a few years in Ojai around 1990 and loved it.I believe you were visiting what may still be named “Bart’s Books”, the outdoor book shop where I’ve spent many an hour and dollar, returning many books for credit against future purchases. I recommend you find Cozy Dell Trail off of Highway 33 to hike, a modest effort, to see the Ojai valley more fully.
