Petaluma (KOA)

We started out the day with lunch at Lagunitas Brewery. It was a hoppin’ place ;-) and there was even a busload of people there (possibly from San Francisco). Luckily they were just leaving when we arrived. We shared a burger and drank some beer (a flight for Chris, a glass for me). They sometimes have live music and there was a band warming up while we were there.

Then we headed off toward the theater district and the clock tower doing some (mostly) window shopping. We did go in to check out the ‘Old Shanghai’ store, as I’ve always had a thing for Asian-inspired designs. We didn’t buy anything, but it was a good-size store and fun to browse.

Also on Petaluma Blvd., we saw the ‘Seed Bank,’ the second location of “Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds,” housed in the former Sonoma County National Bank building. Being fans of growing some of our own produce for many years, it would have been fun to check out, but alas, they’re closed on Saturdays.
