Armstrong Woods

Last night Jake flew into the Oakland airport and I joyously picked him up!  I made plans for our afternoon today; to head to Armstrong woods with a picnic from my favorite sandwich shop, Marc Mezzettas, in Rohnert Park.  After getting our lunch we drove up to Guerneville and then to Armstrong woods.  We hiked quite a ways, even got so hot out that we took of our shirts for the climb!

Then after our exploring Armstrong woods Jake had a dinner surprise location picked out for us.  Jake looked online before his visit and found a vegetarian/vegan restaurant I haven't been to.  We got ready and then headed out downtown Santa Rosa to Gaia's Garden for dinner!  It was buffet style which was interesting, and the food was very good.  They had an open mic night event starting around 9:00pm so we headed out before that got going.  What an adventurous day!
