Solvang (goats), Los Olivos and Santa Barbara...too much to see!

Solvang……the Danish Capital of North American

Founded in 1911 by Danish settlers to preserve their Danish culture. Such a cute place to visit

GOATS!

No Really! Where else can you play tennis with goats (No, I’m not talking about Bob, Marvin)! The Hans Christian Anderson City Park in Solvang is the place. It was a little distracting since they kept moving around…..but so fun!

Los Olivos in the Santa Ynez Valley

34 wine tasting rooms in town…need I say more.

My Dream Garden Shop!!!

I have always wanted my own garden shop, and this shop in Los Olivas would be the one!

Santa Barbara…..beautiful.

Called the California Riviera. Perfect temps, beautiful breezes, giant palm trees, amazing views and it sits at the base of the St. Ynez mountains. The drive through the mountains on the backroads from Santa Barbara to Los Olivos is amazing. Santa Barbara is the 4th most expensive place to live in the US…..even the roadside viewpoints have inlaid marble floors.

Buellton….The Home of Split Pea Soup and Flying Flags Resort (which is not just for RVers!)

Buellton is a great jumping off point for the St. Ynez Valley (your Solvang and Los Olivos adventures.) Bet you might not know that Anderson’s Split Pea Soup put Bulleton on the Map in 1924. (Bob Loved It - for breakfast no less).

At the Flying Flag Resort you can stay in the Canned Hams (those cute little RVs), refurbished They provide a twin bed, night stand, bedside table (like they have in the hospital), chair? or great tiny houses/cabins. Plus they have the famous Sausage truck next to the Sideways Inn! Yummy. For those of you who aren’t campers, there are tons of place to stay in the area!
