Sacramento, California

Friday, July 11th, I began what I am calling Three Weeks of Adventuring.  I left early from the park and headed north to Sacramento, the capitol of California.  I spent the afternoon running errands and ventured to the building itself Saturday.  It is quite regal.

Most of the grass around the capitol building is brown and dead.  There were signs stating they are conserving water during the drought.  However, the shrubbery around the building was lovely; I especially enjoyed the palm trees.

The attention to detail in the interior was outstanding.  I wish I was a better photographer.

I stood and admired this column for a long time. 

There was, of course, the requisite cartwheel on the steps.

One of my errands was getting Little Car an oil change.  For ten years old and over 150,000 miles, she's in great shape.  She is starting to go a little gray but I don't point it out to her.  I think there was a slight mix-up somewhere down the line because this was the sticker that was placed on her windshield.  Apparently there is a lot of faith in the oil that was put in the car because she'll be able to go over 60,000 miles before she needs it changed again.

Stay tuned...more to come!
