7-6-2011 Wednesday - A Visit To Solvang!

We visited the village of Solvang one day. It's only about 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara. It is a cute little Danish village that has a Scandinavia feel all over it.

There is a Hans Christian Anderson Museum. He is known as "The Father of Fairy Tales". He wrote: The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, Thumbelina, and The Little Match Girl to name a few.

We saw some beautiful antiques including this 1886 Uncle Sam cast iron bank! It was in excellent condition as were several others!

The whole village was so cute - look at these murals on the side of this little shop.

We ate amazing aebleskivers.

We took photos in this cute giant wooden clog!

There were so many bakeries. This one makes all the Gingerbread Houses for the show - Live With Regis and Kelly.
