A long weekend retreat to Petaluma (Sonoma County) is a wonderful way to relax and get away from modern life.
The downtown area has a variety of restaurants and shops, and is a short drive away to parks and wineries. It’s also a great way to expand the bird list. The long summer day allowed for easier spotting within the trees.
