Visit to Napa & Sonoma, Part II

After a long delay, we resume where we left off with the adventures of our fearless heroine in the wilds of wine country!

The whole family stayed in Santa Rosa. Fiona loved lounging around in the hotel room.

But the next morning, she was clearly ready to start out on her next adventure. Which was to....

...THE PETRIFIED FOREST! Yes, Fiona got to see what is apparently the largest petrified forest in the world (?), created when nearby St. Helena erupted millions of years ago and buried huge redwood trees in ash. She wasn't initially thrilled with the idea that this might be an educational experience...

...but she soon warmed up when she got a load of the huge petrified tree trunks.

Her favorite part was the hiking, which appears to come naturally to her (picking up the walking stick was her own idea).

On our final morning of vacation, we drove over to Bodega Bay for a morning on the beach. Fiona's response proved once again that we have a beach girl!
Tired but happy, we returned to Berkeley. It was a nice trip!
