Weekend in Solvang!

Spend a weekend in Solvang, a Danish town surrounded by beautiful countryside. Walk around the charming (if not touristy) town and sit in the sun at a cafe. Take your kids to the amazing Sunnyfields Park with its medieval playground. Drive by the miniature horses at Quicksilver Ranch. Skateboard or take in nature at Hans Christian Andersen Park. For farms to visit, check out the Blueberry Farm (in April) and Ostrichland in Buellton.
