...and I'm not talking about little green guys. People actually want to visit me, no tricks involved!
Last weekend, my dad flew in early for some meetings and spent the weekend toting around with me, and this weekend, my little sister arrived and dealt with my ramblings as we rambled around Nor Cal. Despite being me, I think I did a good job playing host and chauffeur for my guests and was able to show off my new native land pretty well.
So if you're ever thinking of visiting us out the West Coast, here's a quick list of things to do in Sacramento (other cities will follow in later posts):
- California State Capitol & Lawn
- Old Sacramento
- Raley Field: River Cats Minor League Baseball Team
- Sutter's Fort
- The California Museum
- Midtown Sacramento
- American River Pkwy
- Sacramento Zoo
- K Street "Mall"
- California State Railroad Museum
My little sister was kind enough to share her photos before she left, so I've got those and a few other shots from my time here in the City of Trees. Enjoy!
My sister in front of the capitol. It was about 100 degrees that day:
In the State Capitol Park:
California Firefighters Memorial in the Capitol Park:
Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the Capitol Park:
Sutter's Fort:
The self guided tour of the fort involved looking through open doors/windows around the whole complex. This is what you typically see:
This is in Old Sacramento, looking towards the riverfront. The Delta King is a boat with a restaurant and theater in it. I've never seen it leave the dock, but it doesn't seem to need to. Behind it is Sacramento's own Ziggurat. Gods don't dwell in this one, as it is an office building. Looks good, though!
A shot in Old Sacramento:
Raley Field, where the River Cats play. My recommendation is to always get tickets on the third base/left field side. You get a great view of the Sacramento Skyline and the sun is behind you for evening games:

Yes! I was going to mention the Ziggurat! I didn't know if it would appear until I saw the glorious glorious pictures.
Yeah Phil, I couldn't leave the Zig out of the pictures; it's my favorite part of the Sacramento skyline!
Kari-I generally avoid using ppl's names in case they don't want to have it posted online... I'll use your name henceforth since you don't seem to mind;-) That's terrible about the purse! Hopefully it'll work out in the end.
