Visitors from the East

Aunt Janice and cousin Kamala came for a visit last week, creating another opportunity for local adventures. And good eating.

Our first stop after our rendezvous at SFO, we headed to the Ferry Building for a little shopping and lunch at Slanted Door.

We stopped at the Seed Bank in Petaluma before a bit of visiting at our place in Santa Rosa which Felicia joined us for, followed by dinner at Bistro 29.

After a leisurely morning we headed to Glen Ellen, lunching at Glen Ellen Star then taking in Quarryhill Botanical Garden.

Up the coast we drove in the afternoon. While M stayed behind to grill beef, we hiked our usual route from Sea Dune to the mouth of the Garcia, then stopped in Pt. Arena to do the gallery and shops. Lunch at the wharf, then relaxing before dinner.

This morning we had a very artistic brunch at St. Orres then went to a quilt show at Gualala Arts Center. M and I continued down the coast to home. Such a lovely long weekend! It was great seeing them both so soon after our DoJ reunion last summer.
