Petaluma Adobe

Justin and I went to the Petaluma Adobe to enjoy some of the beautiful weather we have been having here lately! Here is a little history of the Adobe straight from their website: http://www.parks.sonoma.net/adobe.html
Petaluma Adobe, preserved in Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park in Sonoma County, is one of the oldest preserved buildings in Northern California which was by all accounts the largest and richest privately owned Mexican estates north of San Francisco Bay and one of the most important in Alta California. Exact boundaries of the rancho were of great debate especially after U.S. take-over of California in 1846.


We don't see a ton of Cacti in this area, so it was really neat to look closely at these plants that line the entire walkway up the the Adobe.
