escaping to the wine country...

we arrived at the sonoma mission inn today for a 4 days and 3 nights getaway...  yay!!!  this is a much needed r&r...  i've been really stressed and tired lately...  it's funny how once you leave the city, you feel relax immediately...  we stopped by sausalito on our way for lunch at scoma's...  really yummy seafood...  loved it!!!  after check-in, we went to the famous bathing ritual at the spa...  came out feeling totally rejuvenated...  then, a late dinner at the restaurant here on site, santé...  what a fabulous meal...  started off with garlic, pesto soup in a shot glass, cauliflower custard with himalaya truffles on top, tuna tartar, lobster (super tender) and finished with green apple, kiwi, white peach sorbet...  our server, shawn, was awesome!!!  tomorrow will be a long day of wine tasting...  we will be visiting 3 vineyards...  can't wait!!!
