Sacramento



Today I made my first "real" trip to Sacramento. I went to a restaurant there last month at night and saw nothing but that, so this was my "first" trip. I made it to the Explorit museum first which is actually in Davis. First family member that can get me the answer to this riddle will get a prize from the Ghirardelli factory that I plan on visiting next...Take the numbers 1-9 and form a 3x3 square. Here's where it gets tricky though. The number rows must add up to 15 horizontally, vertically and diagonally. I next made it up to Fort Sutter which is downtown. It was interesting, but probably a one time experience. It was Sacramento Museum day so admission to several museums was free. I next went to the Aerospace Museum. There was a sky car on display there. Pretty cool.
Takes regular unleaded gasoline, gets 24 mpg and only needs a 5 foot diameter take-off area. All in all it was a good day and oh my, slightly educational. :-)

The paths we take

Almost sounds poetic doesn't it? As I drove home from work today, I remembered that on this particular road I had seen some metal statues that were kind of neat looking. So...I decided to stop at a roadside vegetable/fruit stand and walk across the street to take pictures. Interesting stuff. Afterwards, I decided to go in and see if there was anything healthy that was calling my name. Found some good fruit and the lady inside was from Hawaii and likes to "talk story" and she went on and on.
