The Omelette Express, located in historic Railroad Square, has been a Santa Rosa institution for the last 36 years and Brenton's choice for his birthday breakfast.

Railroad Square was honored with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places because of its preservation efforts for restoring and preserving the significant architectural buildings that represent the influence the railroad had on a community. When the first trains arrived in Railroad Square in the late 1870’s, the focus of the town turned to the hustle and bustle around the Depot.  This is a quaint part of town that demands long strolls and window shopping.

This is just a half of my tasty omelet, I shared with Steve.

After our delicious breakfast, we had to say our goodbyes.  It was a wonderful weekend of celebrating!

We were behind this newly wedded couple, almost the entire way home.  They were obviously heading to Lake Tahoe for their honeymoon.  What an excellent way to begin the year!

This was a phenomenon we were not used to.  It was 2:30 PM and there was bumper-to-bumper traffic leaving Tahoe, from town, all the way to Placerville (60 miles).  Big lesson for anyone visiting- either leave early or stay an extra day.  It was smooth sailing into town for us.  Those honeymooners planned it right.  Happy New Year to all!
