Solvang + Santa Barbara

I have known these girls since the first grade. We were the best of friends in middle school, meeting each other between our houses before the sun came up to trade clothes or meeting at each other’s houses to do our hair in elaborate hair styles for our middle school boyfriends. I remember at the time taking it all so seriously. Calling the night before asking, “can I borrow your white flip flops?” planning outfits days in advance… boy were my priorities straight back then. HAHA!

We realized recently that after all these years, we had NEVER taken a road trip together! So we decided last minute to make it happen.

We packed up the mini van to the brim and headed north to Solvang, a little town just up the mountain from the Santa Barbara coast. I can’t even put into words how amazingly gorgeous this place was. Green rolling hills everywhere with oak trees scattered about… I think this will be the place I will retire. 🙂

Here are some photos that have been sitting on my camera roll a little too long. The scenery is much to gorgeous not to share.
