Minication - Day 2

On the second day of our minication we had planned to go to Petaluma and check out the town.

We got up pretty early and headed in to town.

When we arrived, we noticed that several of the stores were dark.

Not really paying too much attention, we parked our car and started walking.

Come to find out, about 90% of the stores were closed on Monday.

We did manage to visit a few amazing antique stores, but I didn't get any pictures.

Because that was a bust, after about an hour or two we headed back to Santa Rosa.

I didn't have anything planned really, but I did see the Schulz Museum advertised.

It was only about four blocks from where we were staying.

 It took Todd and I about an hour to find it, but it was well worth the search.

Schultz Museum

There were many art pieces that were pretty amazing.

This picture was huge and very colorful. 

The picture doesn't do it justice.

As you walked in the foyer, this was directly in front of you.

It was humungous, and looked like a black and white picture, but when you looked a little closer...

you saw that the display was made entirely of Peanut comic strips tiles.

Along with the museum artwork and displays, they also have/had an education component.

The outside courtyard also held some little surprises.

Charlie Brown - Under Construction

Here is crossword Linus.  

He has a crossword on the front and the answers on his back.

They handed you a crossword paper when you first walked in so that you could take it with you.

Lucy's Baseball Cap.

Underneath Lucy's baseball cap was Woodstock's birdbath.

Woodstock's birdbath had holograms that appeared when you walked around it.

I only included my favorite exhibits in this post.  There was definitely more to see.

The museum is very nice and kid friendly, 

and I would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

It is definitely worth the $10 admission.

After the museum we went to dinner and then decided to call it a night.

What party animals we are.
