Solvang- a little Dutch town on the way to San Luis Obispo

This is how we toured the town. I guess that is why we don't have many pictures. This was harder and more dangerous than it looks. I was more worried about tipping over than taking pictures! In case your wondering about the flat little person with us. She is "Flat Keaton" (Stanley). She went everywhere on our trip with us before she was sent back to Hailey's first grade classroom in Chandler, AZ.

On our way to San Luis Obispo

On the PCH- notice how close the ocean is- isn't California great!

San Luis Obispo



This is where we ate Easter dinner. It was my kids favorite restaurant on the trip. It is called The Cracked Crab in Pismo Beach. They bring your dinner out and pour it on the table. They give you any and every tool imaginable to crack your crab. It was so much fun!
