Twas the weekend before Christmas...

One thing Jamie and I wanted to do before Christmas was head back to Lambert Bridge Winery. A couple years ago we had gone around the holidays and the wineries are all decked out in their holiday best. So we set up a trip the weekend before Christmas. We found out that Jenn and Jamo were also available to join us since they would be up before jetting to Boston. A friend at the gym works at the Sonoma Mission Inn and got us rooms at the "friends & family" rate and the trip was on!
The day before it rained but the skies cleared the day we visited the wineries. Silver Oak, Lambert Bridge, and Cobain were on our list. Cobain got flooded out the day before and J was added. It was such a fun day. Holiday feeling and festive. We grabbed great sandwiches at a local market and ate outside with a great wine at Lambert Bridge.  We saw the biggest rainbow which just topped the day.
The next day clouds opened up for a torrential downpour. Jenn & Jamo had to drive to Oakland to catch a plane...they needed life vests. Tom and Shawn's golf day turned into beers at the bar watching college bowl games. Jamie and I headed to the spa.  Soaking in mineral baths with raining pouring down on your head was a really different adventure and so relaxing really. After lunch at The Girl and The Fig and shopping in downtown Sonoma Square Tom and I headed home. A "must do again" trip in our heads!
