Golden Gate Park, Petaluma KOA, Santa Rosa CO & Russian River Valley

Saturday July 8th


Route from Costanoa to Petaluma: Venturing further North to California Wine Country






































We made a pit stop to hang out in Golden Gate Park for the day.  We met up with our long-time friend from Austin Teri & her super cool hubby Jim Karrlson.  We celebrated Teri's youngest sister Christine's 34th birthday.  We biked across the park with Blu & the Yeti, stayed for the day at a nice private cove.  It was a beautiful day.

Sunday July 9th
Wine Country - Shelbs & I visited 3 Vineyards today
  1. Kendall Jackson
  2. Martinelli
  3. Hanna

Each had great service, engaging conversations with the staff and beautiful scenery. What’s not to love?  We both enjoyed learning more about the region, climate & distribution of California wine.  We purchased many bottles as gifts to bring back and share.   




More Dahlias

Martinelli Family Vineyard opened in 1910 (no relation to Martinelli apple juice)

 Artichokes in garden
Cabbage farms are everywhere

Kid-friendly RV spot near wine country - petting zoo, pool, arcade etc.
