Free day in Napa/Sonoma then home again

Today was less planned than yesterday, allowing us some flexibility for anything we might have missed.  Our hotel had recommended “Cornerstone” in Sonoma as an interesting place to visit, so off we went.  On the way there (and back), we tried to find the Windows “Bliss” location – you know, that green hillside picture on some Windows OS systems – it’s in Sonoma!  We found it too, sort of.  Well, the Cornerstone was not what we expected, but it was so much more!  It was a sculpture garden for the most part, and we had the best time just looking at the sculptures and the artists’ installations.  It was a great way to spend a morning.  Next stop, Napa Premium Outlets again.  Because it was unseasonably cold around here, Barbara had been wearing Jeffery’s leather jacket all weekend.  She now wanted one, and so did Courtney.  I didn’t mind because the prices were so cheap for such an expensive item.  Both girls got $60. jackets that were really worth a lot more.  Our lunch reservation was coming up, so we trucked up to Yountville to our last foodie location – Mustards Grill.  Mustards is a place that my wife and I go to just about every time we’re in Napa.  We like the place, however, this time; the prices had really gone up!  This forced us from the “premium” menu items to the burger section to keep things under $100.  The burgers were fantastic, and just about as good as Andy’s Café.  The problem with this is that we wound up paying about $100 here, where we had spent under $40 for Andy’s burgers.  We may not be back to Mustards too soon after this trip.  Andy’s and Carpe Diem are so much better.

After this stop, it was back to home.  I had to go to class tonight to teach an hour-and-a-half long lesson.
