Fun things to do!
When you go to Solvang, CA be prepared to eat! Pastries, ice cream, chocolate, and so much more to try in this little town. You can see the entire town on foot and enjoy the danish aesthetic. The clothing stores can be a bit pricey. But I do have to say they do have good taste in some of the shops.
