Trip to Sacramento

We took a trip to Sacramento, California this past weekend. Driving from Bountiful to Sacramento took us just under 10 hours, so not too bad. We wanted to visit with Arnold and Carolyn. It's been almost 4 years since we made our last trip there.
Sunday evening we had a nice dinner and enjoyed the company of Lisa and Steve, Edward and Tiffany and their children.

We made a visit to an auto museum and it was like memory lane seeing some old cars we used to have years ago as children growing up. Shows our age! Saw an old Ford similar to a '39 model my dad had when I was quite small. And another Mercury like one dad bought in 1950. Wow, we thought that was the most beautiful car ever!
Next day, we went to the Stanford Mansion. Very beautiful place. Stanford was governor of California in the early 1860's. It rained all day but the green grass and flowers were a nice change from our drab Utah February.
We also toured a railroad museum and saw some very interesting old trains and learned a little history about them. I think we wore Arnold and Carolyn out. She still hasn't gained all her strength back from the cancer treatments yet, but didn't let that hold her down. Arnold's parkinson's is taking it's toll on his walking ability so he did more bench observances.

It was nice to see them again and we really appreciated their hospitality.

Our drive home went well. No snow storm over Donner Pass. Just wet. The rest of the way from Reno on was sunny. Heard on the news today the wind out of Reno was 60+ miles per hour and semi trucks were blowing over. Glad we didn't have to drive in that!!!
