Give me some dates and if my calendar's free for that weekend, I'd definitely be up for Solvang. About time, it's been a few years since I was there last. Great pix and tips of this place!

Am so jealous I missed being in Solvang with you all. Would you believe I waited so long for the 11:30 am Casino bus to Solvang but I had the wrong hour 10:30 am on my watch. I forgot to change it to Daylight Sav. time.

Looks like a neat place. The windmill made me think of the Dutch, and of course the extremely heavy population here in the Grand Rapids area (Holland, MI is just a 1/2 hour away.) Tulip Time is coming!
