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!!

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.

One medium cafe au lait please!

With that we picked out a Morning Glory muffin for crumbling

I love muffins with a good chew

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

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!

  2. I’m jealous of your day and would love to be on vacation right now, but I also get what you mean about being away from home for so long. I love having a day of nothing when I get home, to vacation from my vacation!

  16. 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.

  21. 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.

  23. I was nearing my breaking point at the end of SF too. It felt so great to be in my bed again. Good thing you have Matt with you though. Enjoy the rest of your trip and Davidson…try not to think about how exhausted you are and live it up. Pretend you’re a gypsy :).

  26. If you do any wineries, I suggest Jacuzzi on arnold Rd…they have olive oil tasting as well (SOOO GOOD) and the grounds are gorgeous! Plus there is a great little fruit stand down the road from it with tons of local produce….my hunbs and I loved it!!

  28. It’s so funny that you are all over my town. I teach yoga at Tone on 4th st. If you want some awesome Zumba (sweat out the wine!) you should mosey over to Tone!

  32. I think my comment got eaten. Comment boxes are not my friend today. It’s happened elsewhere twice! 🙁

    Anyway, I was just going to say…I love Sonoma! And the sandwich I got at the Sonoma Cheese Factory. Pesto Jack cheese? Yes, please!

  35. 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.

  38. I am jealous! My s-i-l lives in San Fran and I have been to Sonoma both times I’ve visited. I’ve totally been to Bella and Sunce! If you have time, go to Hop Kiln, but not for their wines, for their mustards! Delicious!

  43. Thanks so much for sharing, love your positive energy and spirit. I am a CA native currently living far from home. Thanks so much for taking us on your trip, I can almost taste the cool wine country air.

  44. Last time I was in SF I had Cafe Gratitude on my list but never got in that neighborhood- but after reading your posts about it I think I will prioritize on my next trip!
    Love the winery pictures- gorgeous!

  45. Hi Kath! I live about an hour south of Napa/Sonoma and absolutely love wine tasting – especially with my hubby – and I’m living vicariously through you right now!!

    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.

      • Awesome! I checked out your places online and they’re gorgeous – I’ll definitely be booking at one of those spots! Thanks so much Kath for your help and feedback! 🙂

  50. Oh man, I’m sure you’re worn out, that’s a long trip!
    Try and enjoy your last day. Some of my biggest regrets some from not enjoying trips enough because I was worn out!

  53. I live in San Francisco and am an obsessive Blue Bottle drinker, but a guy I’m dating brought me some Flying Goat beans last week. I didn’t really know much about them prior, but consider my heart won in more ways than one! Very smart boy! 🙂

  58. AHH! Kath! I am an avid reader and I just about fell out of my chair when I saw that you were staying at the hotel I used to work at until one month ago 🙂 I hope you liked it!
