Jack London State Park

For Chris' birthday, most of the family went out to Jack London State Park. It is just outside of Sonoma, so again, the drive was very pretty. Jack London bought lots of land in the early 1900s and it has since been converted to a state park. There are lots of ruins there of the different buildings he had constructed, the main one being the "Wolf House", London's dream home. It was a huge house with 26 rooms and 9 fire places. A month before London and his wife were to move in, the house burned down, leaving the Wolf House Ruin. He died before he could rebuild. So sad his dream wasn't realized!

Train Town in Sonoma

Today we took the kiddies to Train Town in Sonoma. We haven't been to Sonoma ince before we had kiddos, so it was great to enjoy the pretty drive and eat some amazing food.


First ride on a carousel! When we got off, Elia screamed and said more up and down more up and down!









We rode the train to get to the petting zoo.









Elia was obsessed with feeding the animals- G wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole!








The girls went on the carousel, some flying airplanes, a roller coaster (Elia DID NOT like it) and finally the Ferris wheel with Daddy. They loved that.





After we went to Train Town, we went to the square and had lunch. Fabulous.
