When it comes to us as a married couple, I have been the one that loves to explore new places and Ryan, who typically enjoys relaxing at home the most, has tagged along. Now that we have a family of our own, we want to share some of these experiences with our kids travelling with the little people that we love the most. Our journey will start close to home in Sonoma County expanding to other parts of California and beyond.

    Episode 10 - Outstanding Parks and Pinot in Windsor, CA

    In our next episode we discuss our soul-satisfying laid back day in Windsor, CA. We started off at the Windsor Town Green playground that burned off all the kid's energy. Just a hop, skip, and a jump away right off the Green, we then enjoyed the wine, the vibe and of course the dogs at the Mutt Lynch Winery tasting room. Last but not least we ended the day with some amazing pies from PizzaLeah that was the perfect blend of dough, sauce, and toppings.

    Episode 9 - Sip and Play in Bodega Bay, CA

    In our next episode we have a lot to say about Bodega Bay and there is no better way to start off a day than with food! After spending time with Alicia, the owner of Ginochio's kitchen (interview in our last episode), we were able to enjoy some of their amazing food - enter fresh crab sandwich. Our afternoon was then spent soaking up the sun sipping Chardonnay and flying kites on the beach all while trying to convince Ryan to enjoy the water as much as the rest of the family.

    Episode 7 - Toddler Tantrums and Tanks in Glen Ellen, CA

    We are here to interrupt your summer with our episode on one of the smallest towns we've visited so far that really packed the most punch and brings to life what "Home in Motion" means to us! We started our time in one of the most beautiful state parks CA has to offer (in our humble opinion) that celebrates the life of the famous author Jack London. This was followed by a unique wine tasting in an old wine tank and ended with take out from a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant, which we were luckily able to interview afterwards. We will definitely be going back to Glen Ellen and we hope you do too.
