How great it would be to have ten days or so to just go do what I want… I can hardly imagine how that would feel, to be in Sacramento and not have a thing to do, not one appointment, one phone call to make, not one bill to pay or anybody to check up on.
The last time I felt like that was a long time ago when I would come home from college. If I had to find something to do for the next ten days, I would:
1. Visit Crocker Art Museum;
-Founded in the 1870s, Crocker Art Museum is known as the first art museum in the West…
2. Go to Sutter’s Fort
-Built in 1839, it is the original California gold rush symbol, and really fun employees/guides…
3. Meander through the California State Indian Museum
-Right next to Sutter’s fort, a quick tour and very interesting. History from a Native American view…
4. Hang out at the Sacramento Zoo
-Home to over 400 animals, educational amphitheater, and a train runs through the grounds…
5. Go check out the California State Capitol Museum
-See the intricately detailed tile floors and craftsmanship of a bygone era… open since 1869
6. See The Governors Mansion State historic Park
-Built in 1877, 14-feet ceilings, Persian carpets, ornate moldings, crystal chandeliers, Italian marble…
7. See a movie at downtown Sacramento’s IMAX Theatre
-They say it’s the most powerful movie experience created!
8. Go through the Railroad Museum at Old Sacramento
-Largest train museum in the country, Railroads; as revolutionary as Space travel, the Internet is today…
9. Visit the California Military Museum (old Sacramento again)
-Chronological artifacts; Before Statehood, the Spanish/American War, Civil War, World War I and II….
10. Check out the old cars at Towe Auto Museum
-More than 150 classics, if you like history, old cars and exploring our passion for speed…
It seems like my tastes have changed, since I last had ten days or so to just goof off in Sacramento. One of these days…
