A Very Nice Capitol by DueSer
Having grown up in California, one trip every school-age child must make is to our fair capital, Sacramento. From Southern California, it was a hectic day - getting to school way too early in order to board a bus to take us to the airport to fly us to Sacramento (with a stopover in San Francisco). That said, it was a fun trip. Our capitol building is especially beautiful and it's free, so it makes for a nice stop if you're visiting the city. It's not too far from Old Sacramento or from the freeway so it isn't too out of your way. There is a lot of street parking available around the capitol and, if you don't mind dodging some schoolchildren making their trek for Civics class, you can learn quite a bit about California history, which, in my opinion, is quite interesting. We were our own country, ya know, for all of about 5 minutes.
