When it rains money....

[theatokos]

I'm going here. Does anyone have some extra thousands lying around?

I'm scouring places for our vacation. The requirements are:
*less than a day's drive from Oakland
*possible spa
*comfy room
*good food nearby
*green
*other activities nearby (for example, wineries, maybe golf, etc)
*money is a consideration - we neither have loads to spend, but we don't want to be cheap. We often use budget as an excuse to not have a vacation at all.

You'd think a master planner such as myself would find this a delightful task, but no.

Monterey? Big Sur? Napa? Even Santa Barbara is within a day's drive and there are some lovely spas there.

I looked at Big Sur. I've never been and would like to. However, a lot of it is a bit too pricey for us right now. And Santa Barbara is too warm. I don't want to go south very far. I've mostly been looking at the coastal areas in mid- and northern CA. But the most promising places seem to be in Sonoma (which we LOVE) and Napa areas.
