Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great time on our Thanksgiving trip.  We were gone from early Wednesday through Friday evening, so I am preparing our Thanksgiving dinner for today (Sunday).  On our way up to the hot springs we stopped in the town of Healdsberg for lunch and some wine tasting -  we will definitely go back there again, it was a nice little town where most of the wineries have tasking rooms right in the downtown rather than out at the winery.  We also made a few stops to do some "business" by the side of the road:

I know that some day he will be mad at me for posting that, but he did such a great job of asking us to stop the car and using the potty, that I want to share!

The drive up the mountains to the hot springs was twisty and turny, but also beautiful.  The resort itself is small and very nice.  I wish I had taken a picture of the amazing communal kitchen.  There are no restaurants up there, and the town is a 35+ min drive away on the mountain road, so we took food to cook.

The pool and sauna house:

Two private tubs on the roof deck.  These were pretty neat, you could fill them up fresh for each person with the piped in mineral water:

There were also little rooms with private tubs.  These were the only one's O was allowed in because he is under three.  He really liked swimming in the "warm pool":

This morning, I was busy getting dinner ready; Tom, Kristen and O went out to the Jack London Square Farmer's Market.  We ate after O's nap.  It was a big meal!

O was not so interested in the dinner, but that was because he knew what was coming at the end:

This kid LOVES his pumpkin pie.  He ate two full pieces and wanted more!
