Families make Sonoma County vacation central for many reasons. There are the river sports of the Russian River, the coastal beauty and wildlife of the Sonoma Coast, and the food and fun to be had in towns like Sonoma, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, and Jenner. And then, of course, there are big-thrills family attractions like Train Town. With weather that tends to be hot and sunny fairly consistently from late April through October, Sonoma County's also the perfect choice for a pool-centered family friendly long weekend getaway. And if you need another reason, Sonoma offers a surprising number of budget-friendly lodging choices, so a few days of family thrills don't have to set you back too badly. So pile the kids in the car; what are you waiting for?
