Road to California - Arrival

After a day and a half of driving (actually, riding, since Kristina drove the whole way), we arrived in Lompoc last night. We spent Tuesday night in Yreka, CA at an inexpensive hotel that was home to several feral cats. How nice for the borzois to see on their walks around the property....(not).

Toby is doing great, he loves to GO and thinks hotels are pretty cool. Plus, he has two of the three most loved people in his life along for the trip - Kristina and me. And, a new big stuffed orange monkey to play with; a gift from Kristina. Life is good!

Today, we drove to Solvang for breakfast and a walk through the town. We brought the four borzois along for a walk through town and met many nice people who stopped to adore the dogs, which of course they fully expect.


Here are some photos of Solvang and surrounding area (Click on photo or text for larger image):
