Labor Day weekend is supposed to be a long weekend for most but working in retail we do not have the luxury of having Monday off. Since Victor and I had both Saturday and Sunday off, I planned a surprise day trip to Solvang, CA. I used to take trips to Solvang with my family almost every summer as a kid. Since meeting Victor I have always brought up Solvang and how cute it is. I always told him we would go and figured this weekend would be the perfect weekend. Well, this perfect weekend kind of bit me in the butt because I did not realize that it was Memorial Day weekend, and ALL the hotels were booked! I wanted so bad to spend a night in Solvang but that wasn't going to happen. I decided to turn it into a day trip instead. We left early Saturday morning and after driving for 3 hours we finally made it to Solvang safely. This is probably the longest I've driven non-stop and a bit nerve wracking because of the curvy road and hills. Whenever I drive somewhere far with passengers in my car (especially with Victor) I always feel so good once I reach our destination safely, not sure exactly how to explain it but I feel like I took care of the cargo in my car (my precious cargo). I think it's the dad in me.
We had a great time walking around Solvang, visiting old homes that are now turned into thrift shops, home boutiques, and pigging out. Can't wait to go back and actually spend a night or two there!
A 24/7 Christmas store! I BELONG HERE.
