our family vacation 2010- day 1 (part I)

Back in August (yes, August)we took a family vacation. This was the perfect time! Dustin and I had both been really busy with work and life and just needed a break. Christian was also getting ready to start school so we figured it was a great time for a little break.

Our original plan was to drive up the Oregon coast and see the sights. We quickly changed our plans when we realized how long a trip that was and that the little ones may not love that idea...another time perhaps. :) We did still make it up the coast a bit. We decided to go visit Grandma Carole in La Selva and do some things along the way that we hadn't done before. Our first stop was in Solvang, a fun little Danish town.

We stopped to look at the valley as we drove in.He cracks me up.Now she knows how to have fun.We explored the city.We had some yummy pizza, man was it good!!And mini cupcakes.Our hotel.Daddy made them their own perfect spots.We ate some more...it's vacation right? :)Chloe being cute on the balcony.Christian getting a quick pic before we hit the road again.

We love Solvang! That's right by our old stomping grounds! I hope that pizza was dang good because just 15minutes from there is the BEST pizza place ever! Mi AMORE! YUM. Anyway, the rest of the food in Solvang is...different!:) So glad you got to go on a vacation. Love the kids beds. Did they stay in them?! HA!! Mine NEVER do!
