Driving to California |
|
|

Visiting the Chapel in Las Vegas where we got married 2 years ago on Sept 20, 2008. |
|

It is a little tough being carried, I am sure Paul isn't so comfortable either. |

Camping in SAnta Barbara |
|
|

Our first vacation in a long time and we go to California and it is raining. Mind you mostly drissling rain, but still. |
|

The tent stayed dry and at least it wasn't freezing cold in the night, but not my favorite vacation. |
| |
|
|

We stayed at .... State park camping - very nice place right on the beach, if the sun had only come out. |
|

Forget what these little ones are called. Critter fascinating. |

Santa Barbara |
|
|
On a more or less sunny day, we decided to explore Santa Barbara - quite a beautiful place and I loved a lot of the architecture.

Solvang, California |
|
|
 Cute little town - very Danish-like, like Tivoli's architecture. I was here once before in 1998. It was fun revisit this place. |

A wind mill - doesn't that look Dutch?!

Looks like the Round Tower of Copenhagen... it just shrinked. |

Real wines growing on the building - it is California after all, anything can grow here with a bit of water added.
|
|

Yummy aebleskiver - almost like the ones my mom made! |

I think Paul has had enough of mini Denmark
