Drove back to Santa Rosa for the Charles Schulz Museum. Pat's idea. Vance said, "You want to go back!?" Incredulous. We will figure out what we want to see each day before we start out - so no more back tracking. [Yeah, right! - Vance] The Charles M. Schulz Museum was extremely well done, Sparky's life growing up, in the military, and as a professional artist was detailed upstairs. The Peanuts comic strip was downstairs. Since Snoopy is the first beagle on the Moon, the exhibit included a NASA lunar module children could, dressed as astronauts, play inside. 
The architecture was superb, beautiful parquet floors, heavy doors to restrooms, comic tiles in restrooms, etc.
We then drove to Cloverdale. Passed the Martinelli vineyards - grape vines/ stretching along wires/ to just touch/ neighbors. Stopped at the Kendall Jackson tasting room, gorgeous gardens. Couldn't find a postcard to send to Kim (who likes K.J. wines.)
The Cloverdale KOA had a nice little pond we walked around, with wooden log double seat swings at scenic points. We watched the cattails sway in the breeze and listened to the rustle of leaves. Nice view of the valley. Vance hit the golf ball half as many times as I did in miniature golf - lucky duck. Guess high score doesn't win! Twelve young children occupied the hot tub that had a sign on the gated entrance - no one under 18 allowed! RV site was arranged so dining windows looked out on forest - lovely green. Quiet. Cooked hot dogs and Amy's macaroni & cheese and green salad for supper. Sleeping comfortably on our new mattress.
Ended at Cloverdale KOA, Cloverdale, CA < [Kid oriented, crowded, noisy, blah breakfast, tepid shower, nice view]
