The Museum is located upstairs in The Book Loft Building ( 1680 Mission Drive) in Solvang.  Open Daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 PM.

Danish Mill Bakery
  The Danish Mill Bakery is one of those "must go to" places if your in Solvang or in the Santa Ynez valley in particular.  Solvang is known for its bakeries, and this is one of the better ones.



Santa Maria

BBQ Capital of California
  Santa Maria is a city in Santa Barbara County, on the Central Coast of California. The 2010 census population was 100,062, putting it ahead of Santa Barbara (the county seat) for the first time and making it the largest city in the county. The estimated population of the area is 161,227, which includes the Santa Maria Valley, the city of Guadalupe and the unincorporated township of Orcutt. The city is notable for its wine industry and Santa Maria Style Barbecue.


  Strwaberry Farms












The Santa Maria Valley’s vast agricultural heritage is represented by many crops, the most colorful of which are strawberries. The region’s uniquely moderate coastal climate is a perfect match for this fragile berry, with warm winters and cool summers that support an extended growing season of up to 10 months per year. Santa Maria produces over 20 million trays of strawberries annually which are distributed both domestically and internationally.

Outdoor Activity Reflections

  We went to Hwangyeong Hike on Friday, November 4. The air was incredible clean and the fallen leaves rustled in the wind. We really enjoyed beautiful fall.

 After hiking, we had a special meeting in Ganganlee. We ate raw fish and talked over our feelings. I really love all my members. Class 3 FOREVER!!

My beautiful memories

Dongjeom
We traveled by train to Taeback. It is called "눈꽃열차". Dongjeom is the highest station in Korea.

My children in the train
It was their first train journey. In Busan, we couldn't see lots of snow, so they really enjoyed it.


Vietnam, 2008

My lovely daughter and nephew in Vietnam
We visited Vietnam 2008. All women members of my family joined the trip. My son was an exception.




Sharon's Christmas Tree
My children are all high school students, so they aren't interested in decorating Christmas Tree anymore. This was our last Christmas Tree.
