Day 1. Petaluma


amazingly, this photo was taken along Hwy 5. it's been a while since i've traveled any portion of the 5 outside of burbank, but, i'm pretty sure the yellow & purple flowers are not a typical part of the landscape.


huge, old oak trees seemed to be everywhere the closer we got to the east bay.


we spent the early afternoon driving through san rafael & other little towns. we were looking forward to camping and reached a small camp site near bodega to take a look. it was beautiful but very cold and with more rain in the forecast we decided to make another plan. we had a genius moment where we both realized the Lagunitas brewery was in petaluma, and being some 50 miles away, we decided to take the beautiful back roads to get there. we had no idea where we'd be staying, and drove around until we say a cute little hotel. as we walked toward the hotel to get a better look, this rainbow was there, too, greeting us, and letting us know that we'd be in good hands.
