Then, we stopped in a little town called Solvang which is a small Danish town. It is a really pretty little town and fun to see.
After leaving Solvang and being back on the road we stopped at a Wendy's for some lunch where we saw a fire hydrant knocked over and water flooding the parking lot. We of course had to take pictures.
We got back on the road and were getting close to Cambria when Wyatt threw up everywhere in the car. Poor little guy tends to get car sick and sure enough it happened so we had to pull over and clean him and the car up, but even through all that he was such a trooper and didn't mind hopping right back into the car.
Once we actually got settled in the nice house in Cambria we went to Nitwit Ridge which in case you don't know is an entire house made of recyled materials and trash basically. It's also known as the poor man's Hearst Castle.
We also went to see the elephant seals (twice) which are really cool to see. They are huge animals!
Andrew and I got to have a little date to go see Hearst Castle, which I really enjoyed. I thought it was incredible to see and can't imagine living in a place like that!! Crazy!!
We also spent a day at the beach and at this awesome playground that is right on the beach. Wyatt played and played, and played some more! He had such a great time playing on the playground and running on the beach!
We also spent a VERY interesting day at Pismo beach, haha. Andrew and his dad rented a sand rail and went riding in the sand dunes on the beach. The rest of us were going to meet up and just shop around Pismo, but we ended up getting our truck stuck in the sand and had a pretty hard time getting out. After digging, and digging, we finally got out. Meanwhile, we couldn't get a hold of Andrew and Bob and we saw ambulances rushing down the beach so we worried. Anyways, Andrew and Bob were just fine and so was the truck and it was actually a quite funny experience that we will always remember!
We ended that day with some salt water taffy and a nice relaxing evening at the house!
In the master bathroom in the house we rented was a huge jacuzzi tub and Wyatt had the bath of his life! They put the jets on and loaded in the bubble bath. Wyatt thought it was the greatest thing EVER.
The last day we spent back in Redlands for Andrew's 25th birthday. Andrew got some new gifts and we all enjoyed some yummy chocolate pie (Terri makes the BEST chocolate pie!!) Happy birthday Andrew, I hope you enjoyed it and I love you.
It was a great vacation. I love going on vacations and just spending time with our family. I miss them already!!
Looks like you had a blast on your vacation!! You can't go wrong going to Cali and the beach!
