Saturday Morning Musings

We've been on the road since Tuesday morning and we've finally made it to Solvang (one of my favorite spots in California). We arrived here yesterday afternoon to be greeted by a group of people who are involved in a large Antique/Classic Car Show being held on one of the streets in Solvang today.  Tons of the owners staying at our hotel.  The picture below shows just a few of them in the parking lot of the hotel.

We spent a day and a half in Thousand Oaks with hub's twin sister (their birthday was Wednesday) visiting with them and their daughter and her hubby who were visiting from PA.



We then spent several hours with my brother and sister-in-law in Oxnard....a lovely lunch overlooking the ocean and a tour of the yacht he works on plus a tour of the hills in Oxnard/Ventura with awesome views of the ocean.   It was a beautiful day and we had a lovely time.

We also got a night in camping at Point Magu.  This was REAL camping...no RV for us - although we did sleep in the back of the van on a futon mattress (too old to use sleeping bags and get up and down off the ground!).  Met some wonderful people (husband, wife, 2 little girls and one in the hatch) visiting from Barcelona, Spain.  They lived in MN for 4 years and then drove here to visit parts of CA before taking off on a plane to go back to Spain.  Love traveling and meeting different kinds of people everywhere we go.

We'll spend yesterday, today and tomorrow here in Solvang and then head north to visit friends and relatives.  Be back with more tales/pictures tomorrow hopefully.
