Nojoki Falls and Solvang

On Sunday I was about to head out to farmer's market when my Mom called to see if we wanted to join her and David on a short hike to Nojoki falls (about a 30 minute drive north). It was a beautiful day out and the waterfall was supposed to be really roaring after all the rain we had just had. Of course we'll go! It was a beautiful drive with snow capped mountains in the background and green rolling hills everywhere you turned. The walk to the waterfall was pretty muddy and cold, but it was so nice to be outside with the sound of water.

Too cool for school.

One muddy boy who was having a lot of fun throwing rocks into the river.

Afterwards, we took a short drive to Solvang for lunch and a little walk around town. I promised Adam that he could watch football since last Sunday we went up north to visit my Grandmothers. We found the only place in town with a TV in the restaurant; Tower Pizza. Pizza wasn't bad and Owen was happy to run around the joint!

"There was a little boy who lived in a shoe..." Adam and David look like his body guards! : ) Having pizza with the guys while watching football. It has already begun! In front of Tower Pizza We couldn't leave Solvang without a trip to the candy store. We all went for the hand made chocolates, but Owen was eyeing the Jelly Bellys!
It was a good day. I love spontaneous trips like that!
