Lompoc, CA
Over Labor Day weekend, we had our first of many Lautzenheiser-Maino Family vacations and it was awesome! We spent three nights at an adorable Farmhouse AirBnB in the misty valley of Lompoc, CA! While at the Farm, the kids had the opportunity to feed cows, watch chickens cluck around, listen to roosters crow each morning, and even watch a cow get milked. The wild turkeys and cows were regular visitors to our little abode!

We spent our first day exploring Santa Barbara. This included a morning bike ride and visit to the animals at the Santa Barbara Zoo. We then enjoyed lunch at a delicious local brewery.
We spent the second day visiting the very touristy and popular Danish town of Solvang. After a afternoon nap, we ended the day at Surf Beach. Although the skies were cool and grey, we had a great time in the waves. Pat and I (the native Michiganders) even went for a swim in the 60 degree Pacific!
While Ella and Olivia were adorably fast asleep in bed together, the adults finally had time to hang out without kids! We drank, laughed and drank some more. Throughout the entire weekend, all the kids were troopers as we went about our days trying to squeeze in all the fun we could. We are definitely already looking forward to our next adventure together!
