...visit the State Capitol, dine on the Delta King Riverboat, shop in Old Town, visit the Railroad Museum. Also, you must, if you have time, take an hour drive to the Sierra Foothills and visit the historic Gold Country. My fondest thoughts of Sacramento involve time I spend here with family and friends. What I miss the most would be the Sierra Foothills in El Dorado County, where I spent a lot of my youth running wild with my siblings. We used to take our gold pans to the Cosumnes River convinced we would strike it rich at any moment.

There are a couple really great restaurants in Sac. I think my absolute Favorite is a place called Tapa the World. They serve Spanish cuisine in an awesome atmosphere. I like sitting out on their patio with friends on warm summer evenings or inside with a big glass of red wine in the fall so I can listen to their guitarist.
Food is inexpensive. Tapas (appitizers) range from 3-7.5 dollars. It's fun to get a few to make a meal. This is a photo of one of the entrees, YUM! the sangria, the mussels, and the filet mignon tips.

Old Sacramento which includes the train museum is a must. They host a huge dixie land jazz festival evey year. Their are lots of great malls for shopping, the capital building tour and capital park are nice.
