Drinks & Nightlife

First off, Sebastopol is a unique place to visit (so do go if you get a chance) and HopMonk is by far my favorite place to go around here for dancing. They host a variety of artists and bands, so I would check their calendar to see what the next show is. Besides the live show area, HopMonk also has great food and a bar in their restaurant section. Friends and I also really enjoy their outdoor area!

So.. I'm going to be honest, there's not much of a nightlife in Santa Rosa. But sometimes you've just gotta dance! Well, this is a decent spot to show off your dance moves, just make sure you get there early because there can be a long line at the entrance on certain weekends!

I've been to some pretty cool events at Whiskey Tip. It's particularly fun when the weather is nice enough to hang out in their outdoor section. They have live music and DJs that play every so often so check their calendar to see what's up!

Parks & Nature

HUGE, old growth redwood trees!!! Absolute magic... so peaceful, majestic, and serene. Many of the trees are over a thousand years old! There are picnic areas, some great hiking trails and some easy walks in the woods. Check it out! But note: it can get a little chilly under all those trees, so be sure to wear layers. ;)

Grove of Old Trees is a lovely and peaceful nature preserve in Sonoma County. It has easy hikes that meander through old growth and second growth redwood trees. There are also picnic tables in a few areas. For its smaller size, it's still one of my favorite places (and usually much less crowded than Armstrong Woods).

If you adore Snoopy and the whole Peanuts gang like I do, you must check out the Charles M. Schulz Museum! You really get to know the incredible man behind the cartoon strip, all while being in his hometown of Santa Rosa. In fact, you may find sculptures of Peanuts characters around town in commemoration of Schultz. ;)
