Pat and I had the opportunity to spend a weekend in Sonoma to celebrate our one year anniversary! Even though we live so close, it was my first time checking out this charming little wine country town.

I currently have what can only be labeled as a fresh flower obsession. I blame Instagram, as it’s always blowing up with pictures of gorgeous blooms and bouquets. Although huge bouquets of fresh peonies aren’t currently in our budget, I have started picking up a little bouquet at the farmer’s market every week just to have something fresh and colorful to brighten up our living room.
Sonoma is overflowing with fresh flowers, especially roses. I basically spent the entire time we were in Sonoma being completely overwhelmed by the variety of gorgeous blooms in almost every yard we walked by. I even convinced Pat to take some time to stop and smell the roses.
We also took our bikes with us on the trip and did a wine country bike ride. IÂ promise to share photos and details from the ride in a future post!
We stayed at The Lodge at Sonoma, which was absolutely lovely. I was impressed by how the staff went out of their way to make us feel like we were at a home away from home. All the details were perfect, even the snacks with a personalized welcome note.
Even before we arrived, I was able to use the designated reservation line to talk to a real human to make our reservation. As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted by the staff by name. Sonoma was great but I feel like we just scratched the surface. I can’t wait to go back and explore more!
