It’s my son’s birthday today, and if he were home, we could cruise Sonoma County picking up an easy 10,000 calories worth of free birthday treats. Gelato at Powells. Ice cream at Cold Stone and  Baskin & Robbins. Pie at Baker’s Square.  Ice cream, a cowboy hat, and a rousing song at Cattleman’s. ( I haven’t seen him in a cowboy hat since he was 4!) The list goes on and on. To see it, click here.
