Eureka, CA – Santa Rosa, CA

Distance: 350 kms

Actual Drive Time: 3.5 hours

No pictures today (sorry)! we’ve been on a bit of a mission to make our way to San Fran for a day of fun and break up the driving a little bit. Kids=ultimate champs in the car. A bit of a surprise…we were planning for it to be a little more of a challenge. Big win is the activity bag…every hour (if they ask) they can reach in to the activity bag and pull out a surprise. (We’re averaging about $8 a day on surprise activities ;))

Today we left Eureka around 1030 am after a little work and exercise for the grown-ups. We stopped for lunch in Laytonville – amazing how hot the temperature was just an hour south of Eureka. We landed in Santa Rosa…couldn’t resist a sweet hotwire deal for a 4 star hotel with a nice pool (only $15 more than Motel 6’s on the way down…steal!). Great night at the Fountaingrove Inn…awesome pool…lots of fun all around.

Tomorrow we head into San Fran. Another great Priceline deal…landed the Westin St. Francis in Union Square.  Only 1 hour of driving tomorrow…going to have fun with the kiddos in one of my favourite cities.

Love to all! xo
