Today was less planned than yesterday, allowing us some flexibility for anything we might have missed.\u00a0 Our hotel had recommended \u201cCornerstone\u201d in Sonoma as an interesting place to visit, so off we went.\u00a0 On the way there (and back), we tried to find the Windows \u201cBliss\u201d location \u2013 you know, that green hillside picture on some Windows OS systems \u2013 it\u2019s in Sonoma!\u00a0 We found it too, sort of.\u00a0 Well, the Cornerstone was not what we expected, but it was so much more!\u00a0 It was a sculpture garden for the most part, and we had the best time just looking at the sculptures and the artists\u2019 installations.\u00a0 It was a great way to spend a morning.\u00a0 Next stop, Napa Premium Outlets again.\u00a0 Because it was unseasonably cold around here, Barbara had been wearing Jeffery\u2019s leather jacket all weekend.\u00a0 She now wanted one, and so did Courtney.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t mind because the prices were so cheap for such an expensive item.\u00a0 Both girls got $60. jackets that were really worth a lot more.\u00a0 Our lunch reservation was coming up, so we trucked up to Yountville to our last foodie location \u2013 Mustards Grill.\u00a0 Mustards is a place that my wife and I go to just about every time we\u2019re in Napa.\u00a0 We like the place, however, this time; the prices had really gone up!\u00a0 This forced us from the \u201cpremium\u201d menu items to the burger section to keep things under $100.\u00a0 The burgers were fantastic, and just about as good as Andy\u2019s Caf\u00e9.\u00a0 The problem with this is that we wound up paying about $100 here, where we had spent under $40 for Andy\u2019s burgers.\u00a0 We may not be back to Mustards too soon after this trip.\u00a0 Andy\u2019s and Carpe Diem are so much better.<\/p>\n
After this stop, it was back to home.\u00a0 I had to go to class tonight to teach an hour-and-a-half long lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
