Picturesque Petaluma perfect for sunny getaway

The sun may shine on the first days of summer by the bay, but anyone who lives here knows what happens next — weeks of fog. Gray days in the morning, fog rolling over the hills in the afternoon. It’s mildly depressing. San Francisco looks sad and dreary in gray. So in July and August, many city people take a short break, a quick getaway to somewhere where the sun is shining.
