Charles Schulz Museum
In the middle of December, Malisa and I visited the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA. If you aren't familiar with the name of Charles Schulz, do you know about Charlie Brown or Snoopy? Yes? Then you know Charles Schulz. He was the creator of the Peanuts cartoons and drew for nearly 50 years until he died on February 12, 2000.
The museum had a number of cartoon strips printed, the furniture from Charles' home studio and a wall Charles drew on that was in daughter's bedroom. The wall had been painted over multiple times since the house was sold and a lady used paint thinner to restore his old artwork. She then donated the entire wall to the museum. It was pretty incredible.
They also had a small theatre where we watched the interview Charles did with Charlie Rose a few years before he died. Across the street from the museum was Snoopy's Home Ice, an ice skating rink, and the gift shop. We had a great time walking around and learning the history of this man and his life's work.
Here are few pictures, enjoy!

This was one of my favorite things we did in December. Great pictures, Sweetie. I really like the sunset one. And the one of our Astronaut Snoopy stamps.
I think our Snoopy stamps is my favorite too.
He was really connected at the University Tonya and I attended.

Thanks for the link, PC. I'll check it out. I am quite a fan of him and his work. I actually did a term paper on him in High School too.
Of all the shots, the last one is my favorite! It's just perfect!
Thank you, Ava. I can't take all the credit for the last pic though, the sky was beautiful. Thanks for visiting my site.
These are really great pictures!! I Love the Christmas tree picture. Malisa is as adorable as always and it's so true no matter what, any tree can look beautiful with some Christmas magic!!!
