Vacation stop one – Flying Flags RV Resort, Buellton

by in Family, RV

We made pretty good time with the packing.  It rained Sunday morning, so a little wet.  We’re looking forward to living in the RV fulltime, and not having to go through this very stressful and laborious acts of loading and unloading.  Diane was surprised, but all the clothes look like they will fit.  Only minor thinning will be needed.

The Flying Flags RV Park is pretty nice.  Right away the lady that checked me in let me know I’d pre-paid too much, so I got a credit to use in their impressive store.  The regular area is pretty nice for parking, hooking up, etc.  Plenty of room between sites. The long-term area seems well filled.  Likely it will not be this full in the winter.  The only thing I wish they’d improve on is the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers.  They shut them down for a half hour or so everyday for cleaning, but should hit them every few hours.  Other than that, it’s a nice place.  It is managed by Horizon RV Resorts, and we’ll have to check out some of their other properties.

While here, we made a short visit over to Solvang.  Found a guy that does metal work who might be able to do Ed and Victoria’s fireplace doors.  Also took pictures by the Hans Christian Anderson statue, and the Little Mermaid fountain and statue.  And, we had dinner at Pea Soup Anderson’s.  I’ve been to Buellton/Solvang a few times, but never stopped at the Pea Soup spot.  Must say, a bit expensive, but plenty of patrons for a Sunday evening, so it must be doing well.  The pea soup was, well, pea soup.  Now that I’ve been, I can skip it next time.  Molly and Diane both tried the pea soup.  I think Molly wanted to like it, but couldn’t bring herself to want a second taste.

One night here, then on the road to San Francisco.
