Holiday Road Trip Day 6 & 7

The next stop on our trip was a cute little town called Solvang. It looks like a little town in Denmark. We arrived around 3 and spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around town. Not to much to tell, but we took some fun pictures.

The cutest little yarn shop. (Later I found out how rude they are.) 

In the morning we had our hotel's continental breakfast at the bakery across the street. It was considerably better than a regular hotel's breakfast. I wish I had taken a picture of it. We got a cup of coffee, orange juice, a pastry of our choice, and a roll with cheese. I don't normally like pastries, but this one was delicious. 

The bakery also had a giant gingerbread house that makes the huge one we decorated at a friend's party look tiny.


After breakfast we rented bikes from out hotel and went to see the Hans Christensen Andersen Park. It was a cute little park, but not to much space for biking. So we biked around town to check out the little side streets we missed the night before.

After visiting a few stores that were closed the night before we headed up the coast. I found another little yarn shop. This one didn't have a clearance section and nothing overly interesting. We took a few ocean pictures and one last selfie before it started getting dark. 




The end of our trip was a bit annoying. Apparently a traffic light went out on Highway 1. This cause a 10 mile back up and and hour and a half delay. We stopped in Carmel for dinner and to rest a bit from all that traffic. Then made it home to get yelled at by the cat.
