A Day Trip

This whole christmas holiday has been Coreys vacation from work. We stayed home for the holiday and relaxed and have had a great time. We really wanted to do something with the kids t hough that would be fun. We are always up for a road trip!! This one was pretty close to home. Lucky us, Monday it was like 60 degrees and sunny. It was absolutley perfect. First we went to breakfast and then took the kids to see bedtime stories. It was really cute and the kids loved it.

Then we decided to go up to Auburn and see Sutters mill. This is where they first discovered GOLD in California. It was so beautiful. All the old buildings, It was fun to read about all the history. They actually had a little exerpt out of a journal from one of the men in the mormon batallion who had been through there before they discovered gold, and he wrote that they found something that looked like gold. but they were actually hired to build the wood mill so I guess they were too busy to get rich??? anyway thought that was cool. I had no idea that there were so many different ways to get gold, it was a huge opperation, they sucked those mountains out of tons of gold. It was amazing.

I went a little camera crazy taking pictures. It was such a beautiful day and beautiful setting, I just could not help it.

Then we went to Costa Vida on our way home, and the kids ate FREE for family night!
and we came home and played some board games with the kids, it was a full day of FUN! the best part was that it was cheap, and we created some great memories and had LOTS of fun.

ENJOY THE PICS!


















I WARNED you I went a little "CAMERA HAPPY" and I did not even get close to posting them all.
