Now someone else is talking to me about a contract position. I figure the surest way to ensure that I get a job is to make plans for my mom to come out and visit -;) Along those lines, I've come up with a possible itinerary for the Wine Country trip. (Mom, let me know if you want to change anything. Nothing is written in stone at this point.)
First leg--San Jose to Napa
Try to leave by 10:00 AM (gasp!).
Take the 101-680-780-80 etc. route. As well as the route being direct, it also gives Mom a chance to see I-680, which I think challenges I-280 for the title of most beautiful freeway.
Arrive at COPIA, 500 1st street, Napa. Have a late lunch or early dinner at COPIA's cafe (unless something else looks more interesting).
Spend the rest of the afternoon in Napa.
Second leg--Napa to Santa Rosa
Leave for Santa Rosa in the evening.
Stay at the Motel 6 Santa Rosa South, 2760 Cleveland Ave.
Spend the day in Santa Rosa. See downtown, the Peanuts museum, maybe the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens, and anything else that strikes our fancy.
Third leg--Santa Rosa to Fort Bragg
Leave for Fort Bragg in the evening.
Stay at the Super 8 Motel at N. Harbor & Main St.
Take the Skunk Train in the morning?
Visit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. Spend the afternoon there.
Fourth leg--Fort Bragg to San Jose
Head back to San Jose unless we decide to stay over in Fort Bragg. Might be a longish day. Take CA-20 to 101, 101 to the Golden Gate Bridge, 19th St. to 280, and I know the rest of the way.
