The last leg of our trip included Solvang and Santa Barbara. I didn't take many pictures at either place, but here is a sample of what we did. Right close to Solvang there is a restaurant famous for their split pea soup. It is called Pea Soup Andersen's. We all found it rather funny that a place could be famous for split pea soup, but it does exist. We couldn't resist the urge to give it a try....well at least most of us ordered the split pea soup. Some of the more picky eaters (Cheryl) didn't go for it.
Pictures of outside and inside the restaurant.
I have to say that I don't know why they are so famous for their split pea soup. It didn't pass my taste test and I am a pea soup lover. I can check that restaurant off my bucket list.

Of course we had to stop in Santa Barbara to see Kristen & Andrew's new son Jaxon.
He is such a cutie! Congratulations to the happy couple. Santa Barbara is such a beautiful community. I guess that is why Oprah decided to live there. Kristen & Andrew seem to be enjoying it !
Our last stop before heading back to Lancaster was to check out Oprah Winfrey's estate in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately, you can't see much from the street. Her house is past the gates you see in the front. Oh well, at least we can say that we went to Oprah's house. The guard made sure we didn't overstay our welcome. :-)
