Day One - San Fran to Sonoma
This has been a long time planning - a simple concept for a road trip with Katy and Chris commencing in San Francisco. June 14 is our start date and the first night will be in the beautiful and historic town of Sonoma, California.
Jack London called Sonoma "Valley of the Moon" and it is easy to see why it has attracted such a romantic concept with mountains, rolling vine covered hills and coastal influences from the Pacific Ocean. It is historically significant as well with the last of the 21 Franciscan Missions being built here in 1823 and preserved to present day for us to appreciate. The city envelopes a central leafy park and is one of the prettiest town plans in the world. Surrounding this tranquil place the historic Sebastiani Theatre, boutiques, foodie mecca's and specialist lodging as well as anything and everything to do with wine. Our resting place will be the El Dorado Hotel.
Along the way we will cross The Golden Gate Bridge and take in the spectacular Bay Area of San Francisco as viewed from Maron County, including the city itself and Alcatraz. It will be like driving a familar road but unfolding with new experiences all the way.
