Escaping the norm is sometimes needed, whether your norm is a hectic chaotic fast-paced city life or what anyone else might call their heaven… sometime you need to step away from your norm.
In my case, stepping away with some ease means heading up to the Santa Ynez valley and Solvang. LA traffic gives way to winding open roads in the hills surrounded by vineyards and grazing cows. Fast city streets give way to one road filled with charming little shops and cafes.
