Calistoga Trips

Leave home from Seattle at 5am, drove 13 hrs non stop. When we got into the northern tip of California, hot waves hit us right away. Check at the outside temp on the Dashboard, it's at 102F. Driving into San Francisco downtown to our hotel …

The San Rafael Market was beautiful: fresh fruit and veggies, seafood, meats, baked goods, lots of samples, art, crafts, jewelry, all types of food stands, live music, and even a bouncy room and a face painting clown for the kids! We had a …
