Pet friendly Solvang

One of my favorite places in California is Solvang, the little Danish village/town… I have not gone there yet with cici, but there are some wonderful places for dogs and humans… Solvang is about an hour north of Santa Barbara, another wonderful city, but much more of a city than Solvang… Solvang takes you away to a simpler time and place…  and interesting, while doing research, I found that every year they hold a Greyhound dog fest in Solvang…

Anyone for a pit bull fest in Solvang???  would be fabulous positive press for our beloved pit bulls as well as a way to raise money for all of the pit bulls that need homes..  contact me…

Chocolate galore:

This is a sweet little bakery, the motel I stayed in offered a free breakfast, and it was very nice continental, with tea or coffee and a danish and baked goods… yum…

since I wrote this, the owners have changed so I don’t know if the service, breakfasts and all are the same as when I was there…

Solvang, California: This Hans Christian Andersen village come to life, about one hour north of Santa Barbara (which is an hour north of Los Angeles), is a favorite of mine. And the Storybook Inn is a most romantic venue. This European style villa offers nine guest rooms, each one decorated and named according to various Hans Christian Andersen stories. A lavish room for newlyweds is the Swan’s Nest, which features a Queen Bed with feather comforter, private bathroom with double Jacuzzi tub, and fireplace. And the breakfasts are divine.
