Yesterday, my husband and I took a little get-away for his birthday. Our girls stayed with Nana which they were so excited about! On the way to Sacramento, we decided to take a little scenic route and found this beautiful little pull-off on the river.
It is the kind of spot you just drink in the serenity.
From there, we went to Old Sacramento. What a fun little spot! This was a replica of an old schoolhouse.
Don't you love the old one room school houses? I do!
Old Sac is on the Sacramento River. You can go on the old riverboats. So neat!
Love these old bridges too!
They also have the old railroad and you can take train rides on the weekends. Neat!
Lunch was a delicious gyro at the Happy Pita. :)
We then went on the guided tour of the underground of Old Sac. If you never heard the history, you should read about it! They literally had to lift the city back in the 1800's - streets, buildings and all - to save the city from epic floods. It really is a neat story in history!
This reminded me on maybe something in Italy. :)
Beautiful ruins - now a park.
One of the original buildings of the city that was lifted. Love the old architecture!
The Capitol building. What a great day!
