Butterfly Trees

This next stop was picked because it was literally the only place we could find for Thanksgiving weekend. Making reservations has proved to be our least favorite activity this past year and in our denial we waited until the last minute to reserve something. As we started calling around we realized, wow, a lot of people go camping on Thanksgiving. Finally one lady called us back and had a spot. At this point I was wondering, why does she have a spot? How bad is it? :)

It turned out to be fine and the girls loved it because there was a Boomers next door. It's a race car, putt putt, batting cage place. The weather was very nice and even warmer than our previous stop.

Visited the little Danish town of Solvang that was nearby. Cute little place with a neat history.

Hans Christian Anderson was Danish

For Thanksgiving we stayed in our pajamas, watch the parade and dog show, made a simple meal and maybe went for a walk at some point. I can't remember completely.

We spent an afternoon at Pismo Beach and Dinosaur Caves Park. More beautiful coastline. There was a supercool butterfly beach that I couldn't capture with my phone camera. The trees looked like they had regular leaves, but when you look at them through binoculars you see they are actually thousands of monarch butterflys clinging together and swaying in the breeze. It was so cool.
