Food: Oh, yes!

So, we went on a road trip today, and the sole purpose was to EAT.

We left the house around 9:30 a.m. and headed up to Solvang, where we enjoyed the Danish architecture and shops–but the true purpose was to head to Paula’s Pancake House to devour its famous Danish pancakes. They were delicious, and definitely worth the trek up north. The additional biscuits and gravy I ordered, hash browns I snaked from Michelle, and fries I sampled from Alyssa and Mya were also fabulous. In fact, Michelle said her omelette was the best omelette she’d ever had. Yes, Paula’s Pancake House is yummy.

After eating we walked around Solvang a bit before hopping back in the car to head to Ojai–to EAT. But, at least we took the scenic route.

Once in Ojai, we visited Boccali’s, a little Italian restaurant with a dirt parking lot. Boccali’s is where baby J got his first taste of pizza crust, and it’s home to an awesome tractor that had become one with the earth many years ago.

I wouldn’t recommend the pizza–I’m a die-hard New York-style fan–but the strawberries in the strawberry shortcake couldn’t have been redder, and the cake was made from scratch. If you want to feel like you’re as far away from Los Angeles as you can get, Boccali’s is your place. It was beautiful! Plus, there’s even an avocado/orange stand right outside that’s based on the honor system.

After a long day in the car (even though we weren’t driving–woohoo!), we headed home to watch a movie–and finish off the rest of the pizza. Mmmmmm…
