On our last day in Sonoma we decided to check out the spa aspect of the hotel. According to the guest guide in our room the pool is open to all guests. So we got all decked out in our bathing suites and covered up in the fluffy white robes and sandals provided by the hotel and pranced on over to the mineral pool. Unfortunately, the mineral pool, the one we wanted is only open to guests who purchase the spa package! I guess the desk attendant could read the disappointment plastered on my face because she waived the normal $35 fee after I told her we would be checking out of the hotel in just a few hours. I relaxed in the mineral pool and jacuzzi for about 45 minutes but John wasn't all that into it and went back to the room after about 15 minutes. Next we decided to go for a hike high above several vineyards. The weather was perfect for hiking, mild and sunny. We hiked for a little over an hour and the views of the savannah with the emerald green grass and wildflowers against a back drop of rows and rows of vineyards was so simply gorgeous. We got back to the hotel in time to pack up, check out, and make our way to the airport. Our flight was delayed by 30 minutes so we had enough time to have a decent meal at one of the airport's restaurants. We arrived at our airport just after 9:00 and took a taxi to John's house. John popped popcorn and we finally finished watching the movie we started last week. The Best Years Of Our Lives.
