CALIFORNIA DREAMING
Our Trip to Sonoma County and San Francisco

Our California vacation came at such an odd time. We were in the middle of a small kitchen remodel that turned into a major one in the blink of an eye. Seriously, if you’ve never had to go through a remodel, it’s like opening up a can of worms – all the original plans were tossed out the window. But what really made matters worse was that my stepdad had just been diagnosed with cancer.  So even though we were physically on vacation, our brains and hearts were just not there. We had all these things at home that we were worrying about making it hard to be present in the moment and enjoy everything that was in front of us. But despite all that, we still managed to have a pleasant time and I would love to go back someday when we’re in a better frame of mind. I’ve always said that I’m a West Coast girl at heart and California did not dissappoint.  Between our stay in Healdsburg and San Francisco, we got to see a little bit of everything! The natural beauty of the National Seashores of Point Reyes, the breathtaking redwoods at Muir Woods, the vineyards in the Russian River Valley, the hustle and bustle of the city, there’s a little something for everyone – city and nature lovers alike!
