December 15-18
Flying Flags Buellton, CA
Rincon Parkway, Ventura CA
We really wanted to see Solvang since we'd read it was a wonderful town around Christmas. So that's why we stayed at Flying Flags (more than we want to pay but not much else in the area).
It was a nice little town close by Buellton but not what we were expecting or looking for to get us into the holiday spirit. I think we really wanted a Leavenworth (WA) type place so it's not really the town's fault!
After we left Buellton, we were looking for a place that would get us closer to Anaheim where we planned to meet up with Pat's brother and his wife and stumbled upon Rincon parkway in the forum's and WOW that was so great! Boondocking (no hookups) but the ocean was outside our door! Weather was beautiful (earlier in Buellton it rained and the wind was gusty but by Saturday when we were at Rincon Parkway it was GREAT!). One of our top 10 places so far for sure!
Highlights: Seahawks won (playing Thursday night against the Rams)! The view from our door at Rincon Parkway.
Lowlights: After searching since we started our trip after Thanksgiving and finally giving up, we found the cider spices we had been searching for - the day AFTER we sent the Christmas package!
P.S. We'll have to post pictures later - the classic problem of slow wifi! And we're really busy here at Disneyland (visiting the park and taking naps!!) so it's hard to find time to post!
