We traveled south on US 101 until we got to Buellton, CA, the home of Andersons Pea Soup. They have a hotel and restaurant there serving the best split pea soup (in my humble opinion) in the world. The only problem that day was that it was Tuesday and the only day of the week that the restaurant was closed. So, we did what was obviously necessary and stayed the night in nearby Solvang Both Buellton and Solvang are towns setup as Danish towns with the usual architectures found in Denmark...sort of. We stayed at the Vinland Hotel, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for luxury. ;)
