Adair Valley

Well, actually it was Sonoma, but to us, Sonoma is synonymous with visiting George and Laura Adair and their two sons. Of course we went wine tasting. Our first stop was Armida. Here we are in the tasting room, after happily drinking some nice wine and admiring the view of the Sonoma Valley. Isn't that view amazing?

Here's Paige, lounging in the tasting room, after some serious running outside with her new friend Austin. She was talking about him for days afterward. We went to Healdsburg after that and Brandon and I were talked into joining the La Crema wine club while at their tasting room. We do not regret it and have been drinking their delicious chardonnays and rose since. The La Crema people were also quite nice about Paige's shenanigans, so of course they get brownie points for that. Or at least wine sales.

We also did a little duck-feeding on the way to the Adairs, in a town that we were later told is the meth-capital of Northern California. That explained a few things about the other people at this park.

We had a fantastic time with the Adairs, who are awesome hosts and good friends. I wish we lived closer. But we'll always have Adair Valley.

And yes, I am taking over a month to chronicle a week's road trip. Have I mentioned I work full time and have two kids? :) Here's where we started.
