Solvang

Solvang is a cute Danish inspired town, with Danish architecture, food, flowers, windmills and clothing. It was adorable. Solvang is a Danish word which means Sunny Meadow. A tourist attraction since 1945 with a population of 5450 in the 2010 census.

Danish pancaked covered with cooked apples and cinnamon spiced whipped cream. The Danish sausage with a flavor like specked liver sausage, was delightful. The omelette was great with cheese and sausage.

Solvang was lovely, and I recommend it.
