Petaluma, California

The panoramic town of Petaluma in the Sonoma County is one place in the entire county that bears the charming Victorian homes graced with tree-lined streets and its close proximity to the big city San Francisco makes the town a great escape for stressed residents. The town boasts of its excellent shopping options, beautiful art galleries, exceptional antique shops, variety of nurseries, festivals galore, great microbreweries and finger-licking food. The Petaluma River close by offers great adventure options while the Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park would be adored by most of you owing to its preservation of the oldest buildings. History buffs would also enjoy the Military Antiques and Museum while those who love fun and life would thrill themselves at the Petaluma City Ballet. Words would fall short but the amount of amusement you would get at Petaluma would never end!
