Sonoma

For Mirko's big birthday weekend, we headed up to Sonoma for a taste of the good life. Excellent wine, delicious food (yum, cheese plates), and beautiful scenery!
The picture above was taken at the Robledo Family Winery. Very interesting story - the winery was started by a Mexican who came to the states as a migrant vineyard worker at age 16.

And here is our family at the Larson Family Vineyard.

Yes indeed, what is the purpose of this blog if not to post embarrassing pictures of our baby girl.
Diaper chan-an-ange!

The tasting room at Larson had a nice display of items from Sonoma's wild west past.


We stayed for two nights at the Ledson Hotel situated on the plaza in downtown Sonoma. Lovely small hotel with only six rooms.

The Birthday Boy and Nina on the plaza.

We had two fantastic dinners. On Friday night we ate at The Girl and the Fig and Saturday at the General's Daughter. Very different atmospheres but amazing food at both. And did I mention the cheese plates?

As you can see, Nina didn't realize we were in Sonoma - she thought we were in Napa

Nina was a very good sport for the whole weekend. We tried to be good to her, making sure she had plenty of naps and down time, and in turn she let us indulge ourselves on a not-very-baby-oriented weekend.

"bleh, let's go home now!"
