New Years Resolution...catch up blog adventures...

Wow! I have such a back log of food adventures but there is no time like the present to jump in, so here goes.

Last summer (July 2010) we hosted a student from Spain for a month! 17 year old Pablo quickly became a part of the family and it was a great summer experience for us. Pablo's favorite american food is the "Hamburgesa" and so we set out to taste as many hamburgers as possible from "In n' Out" to Pablo's professed favorite "Greg's backyard BBQ burger". On our quest to share American culture with Pablo, we took a day trip to Los Olivos and Solvang, CA. Sure the boys wanted to see a few wineries (Los Olivos Saarloos and Enjoy cupcakes) and taste the tourist's favorite applerskiever (sp) in Solvang but it was all about finding a beloved burger. We found victory at the Big Bopper walk up restaurant on the main drag in Solvang. The boys were in heaven with the classic burger with American cheese of course! Not sure what they thought of the big adventure but they both fell asleep and took a "siesta" the entire ride home! :)
