Mini-Vacation – Day 2

After our evening tour of Hearst Castle, Kellie and I were exhausted. I started a fire in the fireplace, but quickly fell asleep once getting in bed. We woke to a beautiful morning. There were several people stand-up paddle surfing out in the water outside our hotel room. After a nice breakfast, we headed off for Solvang. The drive was fairly nice. We passed an accident, thankfully in the opposite direction on Highway 101 in Pismo Beach, which had traffic stopped back for at least five miles, but it was all smooth-sailing for us. We arrived in Solvang around noon. It was fairly hot in Solvang… it was around 95°F. Kellie and I walked around the town. I had some æbleskivers with raspberry jam and powdered sugar ala mode from Arne’s Famous Æbleskiver. We then got too hot and returned to the WorldMark Resort, where Kellie took a nap. We finally left the resort for dinner around 8PM, but alas, Solvang is closed by this time. It was a much more comfortable mid-70′s out at this time though. We drove over to Buellton and had the famous Traveler’s Special at Andersen’s Pea Soup. For those that have never been to an Andersen’s, the Traveler’s Special is all you can eat split pea soup, bread and drink. This really hit the spot.
