I LEFT MY HEART IN SOLVANG

When we were in Santa Maria after the holidays with two of my kids and my extended family my youngest (great) niece, Dezi, and her boyfriend, Ethan, went to Solvang twice and really enjoyed it. She brought back little figurines for everyone. Some were windmills but I got this darling one of a couple kissing. Two things. My parents loved Solvang and went quite often. My mom has Danish ancestry so she really loved it. They didn’t get to travel much but they loved their trips to Solvang. Randy and I went often to see the plays at the outside theater. Our last weekend trip before he got sick was to Solvang where we saw Fiddler on the Roof, probably his favorite. My niece didn’t know any of that when they went. So here we are three generations later and another family member who loves Solvang. Some call it coincidence. I call it a velsignelse.
