A couple weeks ago, we decided we were going to take a last minute trip up north to see our friends, Andy and Summer in Sacramento, and go to San Francisco. Gavin and I had never been to San Francisco and I have been wanting to go and see it. It was the one of the few weekends that worked for all of us so we went for it. We got up early on Friday and headed north.
Gavin was quite the long distance traveler. He never whined or complained about getting out of the car. He played his Mobi Go games, watched movies, and napped. It went a lot smoother than I expected with a toddler!
He had to turn to make sure I got a picture of Mater and the other side was Lightning McQueen
The drive seemed to go pretty quickly on the way there. I didn't realize that there was so much farmland and greenery for most of the 5 freeway. We saw so many trucks loaded to the top with tomatoes and garlic!
Once we finally got to Sacramento, we got ready and all of us went to dinner at Chevy's on the river. It was pretty chilly, but the atmosphere was really fun. The next morning, we got up and Andy and Summer took us to see some of the cool stuff around town. We drove to see the college where Andy works and then went to the Capitol Building. It was neat to see the building in real life. There was a wedding party taking pictures by the building and Gavin asked if we could see the "real princess."
We ended up spending most of the day in Old Town Sacramento. There was a lot of ice cream parlors, candy shops, and old fashioned stores. I wish we had somewhere fun like this around here.
We couldn't pass up the train ride that goes through the middle of the little town. Gavin loved being on a real train. It was right around nap time so he was almost sleeping by the end of the ride.
This was the candy shop, Candy Heaven. I have never been in a candy shop like this before. This picture is a very small part of it. There was so many different types of candy that I felt overwhelmed. Gavin picked out some M&Ms and they were $10 and they got left at the register!
After a fun filled day, we headed back to Andy and Summer's house and the boys BBQ'd a really good dinner. Andy had some steaks from Nebraska and I think it might be the best steak we have ever had. Thanks for the hospitality, we had a lot of fun! Hope we can make it back up there again soon:-)
