SOLVANG, CA JULY 15-19 2012

We've finally begun our Autumn RV trip early.
We met some other RVers in Solvang, Ca.
We were there for four nights there & then began our eastward trek to the eastern provinces of Canada.

Solvang is a cute but touristy Danish town north of Santa Barbara. Joey & I have been here several times before & still enjoy the architecture & wandering around.

They have a beautiful farmers market too but we didn't take any pictures there.

In a small town nearby, Los Olivos, we had heard about a unique succulent nursery. It wasn't just a succulent nursery but also sort of a fantasyland of artworks! 

I hope I can find this yellow one when we get home. The common name is Kangaroo Paws

Joey bought this silly little metal horse sitting on a horseshoe with some hooks for keys or utensils....whatever.

Look at Joey's hair!!! NO he didn't get a new "do". When I first looked at this one I couldn't figure what the heck was going on with his hair but when I zoomed in I was able to see the yellowish halo was a sunlit bush perfectly aligned with his head!  Too funny, eh?

3 weeks into our annual Fall Trip

Well, I'm so far behind on our blog BUT I'm going to post anyway....without trying to go back to

April when we left Mexico. I keep telling myself I'll fill it all in from April up to the present....we'll see! So for now:

We're in Nashville Tn & will probably be here for 4 or 5 nights.

1st nte a Passport America camp http://www.nashvillecountryrvpark.com/home.cfm

@$20 (incl tax) Sun-Wed but then they go up to a Good Sam rate Thurs-Sat. which is almost the same as the KOA downtown-ish. $34.95 per nite , including taxes, for our size rig. We only need 30 amps. The larger rigs that need 50 amp & big slide-outs DO cost more.

After getting set up in the PA camp we disconnected & took the car downtown to checkout the KOA & we will be moving tomorrow, downtown & eliminate the 16 mile round trip from the PA camp.

BOTH camps are truly beautiful with cable TV & great Internet.

Don't know exactly what we'll be doing in Nashville. There is a Dale Chihuly display http://www.chihulyinnashville.com/ as well as an Impressionist exhibit directly from Musee D'Orsay , Paris. http://www.atthefrist.com/impressionism/ We've been there & always love seeing the Impressionists. We'll know more tomorrow. It just started Oct 15th so it may be difficult to get tickets.

We might even take in some "country" in this Music City. THAT'S usually why people come to Nashville, isn't it?

Whoopie! I just decided to look up the website for the Nashville KOA camp & they have a "HOT DEAL"....if u stay 3 nights u get the 4th free. I guess that helps up make up our minds. 1 nte PA camp & 4 ntes KOA. Now we have LOTS of time to figure out what we want to do ....or not do....sometimes we need to just do nothing & regroup.

Ok, I'm out of here now.

OOPs....not yet...I just found NashTrash tours...has really good reviews & we're considering it if timing works out: http://www.nashtrash.com/ What a hoot!
