Real Doner Turkish Food

Our last meal in Petaluma would be here...

No, not the truck and auto repair shop, but at the Turkish place next to it!

We kept seeing the signs everytime we'd walk from our hotel to downtown...

Shollenberger Park + lunch from Green String Farm and the Petaluma Pie Co.

TC read up on places to go during our trip and suggested that we visit this particular park,

Shollenberger, which is a protected wetlands area...

and a great place to talk a nature walk...

Return to Petaluma Pie Company + a visit to Green String Farm

We had to pass by the local pie shop first before walking back to our hotel...

We were here the previous night to get a dessert pie.

This time, we would be picking up our lunch...

The Riverfront, Walnut Park and last views of downtown

We made a short detour to the bridge in the area known as the Riverfront.

It led to a restaurant that was still setting up for the morning...

More of downtown Petaluma, St. Vincent's Church + more movie pop culture sites...

On our way downtown (before having our morning coffee at Acre)...

Bert dropped off mail at a nearby post office with cool architectural details (this was on 4th St).

Signs downtown pointed us in different directions...

but we would do our walk after having our coffee and morning snack.

Dinner @ Quinua - Cocina Peruana

When looking at google maps prior to our trip, I noticed a new Peruvian restaurant on the map.

Not wanting to drive out again for dinner, we decided we would have dinner here at Quinua...

Downtown Petaluma + The Petaluma Pie Company

We thought we would explore downtown Petaluma on foot before calling it a day...

Dating from 1882, the clock tower is fixed atop the three story Masonic Building on the corner of Petaluma Blvd. and Western...

Risibisi + a glimpse of downtown Petaluma

Our French inspired hotel was quite cute and we were fortunate enough to have a spacious second floor room.  The weather by this time, had become quite gray and overcast with a bit of a chill and even some light sprinkles.

We drove to downtown Petaluma, recognizing the clock tower, the Lan Mart store as well as their other historic buildings (thanks to rewatching "American Graffiti" a week prior)...


Dinner would be downtown at an Italian place...

Spring Break Road Trip 2016 - Day 3 Highlights

Morning coffee was in order...

A ten minute walk encompassing the five blocks from our hotel to downtown was all it took...

Spring Break Road Trip 2016 - Day 1 Highlights

Although Spring Break began after the 18th, we didn't leave for our trip until the day after Easter...
at the ungodly hour of 3 am!
