We are back from our trip; actually we have been for a few days, but I haven't had the time or the motivation to update our blog. So I have a ton of pictures, and I wanted to share some highlights from our trip but I thought I might break it up into pieces. We had an awesome time together and Alyssa traveled really well; we were very happy with how good she was. So the first night we left late and stayed in Ventura, in order to avoid LA traffic. Then the next day we stopped in Santa Barbara for a very short time and found a unique fun little playground for Alyssa to play on. Then we stopped in Solvang and had lunch and some delicious pastries. Then on up the coast to Cambria for the night. We loved Cambria and almost wished we could have stayed a couple nights. We stayed in the Cambria Pines Lodge, which had the most beautiful gardens to walk around in, and the little village of Cambria itself was very enchanting. I would definitely recommend it as a must see; when you drive into Cambria you feel like you are in some mountain town with all the beautiful pines, you could almost forget that you are also only a mile or two from the ocean. Oh I almost forgot another must see on our way to Cambria. We stopped at Avila beach which is actually about 3 miles off the 101; you wouldn't even know it was there, if you didn't follow the signs. We did a little beachcombing and Alyssa played on the cute playground there too. We were commenting on how vacations change, when you have a toddler with you, and we were laughing at how finding cool playgrounds was high on the agenda for this trip. (p.s. I am sorry for how the pics are showing up; I am having trouble getting them to line up the way I want them too.)
