John, Kalani and I took our very first road trip, the three of us, to visit Auntie Zoi and Kristy in Sonoma, last weekend. It was great! Kalani does SO well in the car, for the long 8 hour drive, I'm amazed every time. It's hot in the central California farmland. Thank goodness for AC.
And drills :)
We drove into Santa Rosa and met Zoi at
Zazu at about 7pm on Saturday night. We had a bite to eat then headed off to see her cabin in the woods :) Kalani requested to "drive in auntie's car" so we switched the car seat and off we went. We arrived at
Goat Rock State Beach just after the sun had set, to see the most amazing view of the northern California coastline. I had been here a few months ago, when we visited Zoi, so John was particularly surprised at the site. Breathtaking. We proceeded down a long, bumpy, gravel drive to the cabin. The location is very rustic and private, and the house looks pretty rustic on the outside also, but immediately upon going inside we realized this was not a funky, run-down place. The cabin was gorgeous and so super cozy. The kitchen and all the walls are brand new, along with the 2 wood pellet-burning stoves. I could go on and on about how cool the place is, but I'll leave it at that :)
We woke up to a calm and foggy coastal morning of even more abundance and beauty than we were able to see the night before. Off to the beach we went!
Prune especially enjoyed running FAST, and digging holes with her ball. Kalani especially enjoyed chasing Prune, tossing her ball, running in the sand, and working on "the beach house" with Auntie.
