Flying Goat Muffin

Twinkle twinkle

Wish we’d had more time for a longer stroll this morning. We ventured out to find good coffee and headed back efficiently for breakfast. I’m going to YOGA this morning with Jenna!!

IMG_0614

I remembered from my last trip to the area how good Flying Goat Coffee is, and lucky us there is one just steps in the other direction! I love the simplicity of the design in there – from their logo to the decor.

IMG_0608

One medium cafe au lait please!

IMG_0611

With that we picked out a Morning Glory muffin for crumbling

IMG_0612

I love muffins with a good chew

IMG_0613

IMG_0615

More plain yogurt (saving my life this week for breakfast!) my first banana in DAYS (!!), strabs, and some Frog Hollow Farm granola.

IMG_0617

IMG_0621

Operation digestion – Jenna is on her way!

IMG_0616

Today is going to be more low-key. We’re not even sure if we’re going to wine taste at all, but we’re paying a visit to the town of Sonoma before we head back into the city. One more night and we’re headed East. I am SO READY to get home. I’ve been gone 8 days now, and I think 7 days is pretty much my max vacation allotment. However, we have more traveling to do. It just so happens that this weekend is our 5 year college reunion at Davidson and we’re headed to North Carolina just minutes after we finish one large load of laundry on Friday. Not sure about Matt, but I don’t think this event will be a wild party weekend for me. I’m so worn out!

    I’m definitely a creature of habit, and vacations, no matter how wonderful, throw me for a loop. The best scenario is when I’m staying somewhere with a real kitchen (even if it’s a small one) so I can cook instead of being forced to eat out for EVERY meal. Our recent vacation at my grandparents’ cabin fit the bill perfectly in that regard, although the sleeping situation (two twin beds) was a bit of a drag for us.

    If you get a chance when you’re in Sonoma, stop in Basque Boulangerie and get a cheese stick! They are really good.

    The BF & I have been meaning to try Santi since they moved. Glad you & Matt have enjoyed your time in Sonoma County. It’s always interesting to see the place you live through someone else’s eyes.

    If you can handle any more wine, you should go up to Gary Farrell. Their wines are excellent and the view is amazing! Kind of the opposite direction from the town of Sonoma though since it’s out by the Russian River.

    You’ve inspired me to plan a special weekend for my husband and I and I’m wondering where you’re staying at during your visit and if you or Jenna have any other recommendations? Thanks!

      We stayed at the Hotel La Rose. It was older and nice and not very expensive (or fancy) and included breakfast. I would recommend, though, staying at one of the Four Sisters Inns, like the Inn at Sonoma or Healdsburg Inn. They are a bit more $, but VERY VERY nice and still pretty affordable.
