There ae several along the "main highway" DW was raised with that type of food (pickled fish, etc) and LOVES some of those dishes. "The little Mermaid" next to the Peterson Inn is O.K., and there is one on a side street that has a danish bakery in the front. We Like to say at least two days, and I ALWAYS bulk up. Usually we try and go there, then down to DL so we can "walk it off" before heading home!!
here is a really good web site, and yes we have visited almost every shop and dining establishment there!!
www.solvangca.com It makes a GREAT pre-vacation stop on the way to the magic kindom!!
ohhh, sounds like a trip we would like. Every few years I have a hankering for pickled herring. But not an everyday food, the smell gets to be too much sometimes!
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee house!
wooooppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yep, I love watching House too. Though I didn't like that episode as much, the fork in the socket thing was interesting turn of events though,
Wow - I thought I was alone here!!!
I am glad that Shawna met up with Alex - I was hoping they would find eachother. It is a bummer though that you missed her Pixster. I just couldn't believe how easy it was to run into everyone in such a big place. Even people I didn't know it seemed like I was always in the same place as them.
Next week should be crazy - we have to pack and clean this place, as well as load up a bunch of stuff from Gilbert. We were going to rent a U-Haul but they want $500 just for the hunk of metal - not including insurance, gas or any other added fees. I really don't want to pay that much for us to move ourselves (especially since we are not moving everything - that could get pretty expensive when we have to move it all again) So I am not sure exactly the game plan. The house is unfurnished - so we have to grab the couch, all the kitchen stuff and probably just our air mattress. (and ALL of our WINTER CLOTHES!!!)
Have you tried Budget truck? They have AAA discount, sometimes they are cheaper than Uhaul. If you move midweek (or even mid month) it's much cheaper, but I know it's not always optimal with work and whever your current lease expires.
HA! That's nothing. Long sleeves, light weight coat, mitten weather. No need for the heavyjacket until it hits the teens.Comparably warm - we have a 50% chance of snow by Halloween...the lowest number we have seen so far is 28 on the car thermostat
i had no idea where you moved to that it would snow there...take it from someone who was raised in snow...you need to buy in a hurry because your screwed if they sell out of stuff and you dont want frost bite lord have mercy
YES!!! The snow pants will sell out faster than anything else. Walmart has decent prices for snowpants, mitten and hats. Kids will outgrow them by next year anyway, buy em cheap. Didn't really care for their coats, I usually get mine at JcPenney's.
Boots, not too bad of a selection at Kmart for the kids. Grownup boots, best bet would be to get nice ones at Kohl's.. they will last longer.
Do you have a Target?? They usually have tons of hats and mittens clearanced out, good idea to stock up for next year when they hit 50 or 75% off. My kids lost their gloves/ mittens every season.
:
I have never lived in snow, so this will be quite a shocker for me. Both me and DH lived in Mesa/Gilbert our entire lives!!!
New experiences are fun! The kids will love playing in the snow. Make sure to get a good tobaggon/ slide, the long plastic ones are the best-- and cheap!
WOW! If I was out at my mom's (in the country) we would bundle in layers, but in the city we never had a need to bundle up too much. Really depends on wind chill--- 40 below windchill - eeek! now that's horribly cold, and more likely to get frost bite on any exposed flesh in SECONDS!
I am definitely not grumbling about it being cold - at least not yet!!! It is supposed to be 98 degrees in Gilbert where I just moved from - I will never grumble about 70 degrees!!! When I have snow on the ground - I do reserve the right to grumble!!!
I always hated the unending winter- blahhh grey skies for week's on end. Hubby has seasonal affected depression, made sure to be out on sunny days!
AWESOME!!!!!
We all miss you!! 
Bernice and I got to hang with Dizzy and Staley for a bit too. 
I'm sorry you've been feeling tired. 
In june he was way grumpy the WHOLE trip! This time he was much more like himself!
It has been really hot here this week. I really don't like it because on Monday it was 91 degrees or 97 and then today it was a little better but still a tad bit hot. I really want the summer weather to go away!!
