Sonoma Wine country

One of my favorite mornings. We woke up and ate an amazing hot breakfast at the hotel. Since weren't in a rush to go anywhere or trying to beat the sun going down, we took our time. We are on vacation right? The guys took the kids down to the pool and Tiffany and I headed to the weight room and had one fun workout.
We cranked the bose speakers up and ran with it. Treadmill, abs, legs, back, push ups...dancing. Yes we attempted to danceon a treadmill and it was hard! Like one of those step revoultion games you see in the mall.
Well after all the fun was over we dressed up for the hundreds of wineries around. The first ones we went to was what the hotel recommended...and heads up, the sucked! Horrible wines, and the grounds were not kept and well we just deciced that wineries weren't for the kids so we left Healdsburg and headed to Santa Rosa.
Here we went to the Charles Schultz muesum. It was interesting. Lots of comics (obvisously) and stutes. We learned about his life and how he lived. He loved hockey (who knew) so muh that he built an ice arena at the muesum were he would watch the skaters every afternoon during lunch.
Another place we went to was Luther Burbank home and gardens although in a shady area in town and most plants were dormant (since it was winter), we still went and looked at it. It was nice, I left after doing a quick walk-through, but the guys felt the need to inspect and read about every plant. The surely learned plenty that day. Over 200 species of plants here, Luther Burbank lived until he was 80.
We continued on our journey to Sonoma. We checked out th historical plaza and even at night it was beautiful. All lit up and so ancient. Some buildings from the 1890's and 1900's, as early as 1850!
We induldged in thai food and headed back to the the hotel in Sonoma...again a Best Westeren Plus.
This hotel was even better than the previous one we stayed ay and cheaper. Some how we found a steal of a deal. For just $10 more than the crack hotel we stayed on the first night! It was mediterean inspired. Greek statues and more grape vines and at least 30 olive trees. There was a beautiful courtyard that our room overlooked. We all unloaded our stuff and headed down there. I soaked in the hot tub then stepped into the steam room where I remained for most of the night.
