Road Trip, Day 3
This morning started with a trip to the California State Capitol building
Next, was a visit to the historic Governor's Mansion. Unfortunately, it was undergoing a major facelift. They did, however, have this scaled down model of the mansion. No longer serving as the Governor's official residence, it is now used primarily for public and state ceremonies and events. Governor George Pardee was the first governor to live in the mansion and Ronald Reagan was the last.
Named after the founder of United Farm Worker union this small open space is nestled in downtown Sacramento. Surrounded with tall old palm trees, flowers and grass it is a great place to relax during the day. Many times during the year, various musicians play on temporary stages set up on the small northern meadow. During my visit, a vendors had gathered to set up their stands for the Farmer's Market.
A quick stop at the local Hard Rock Cafe to add to my collection...
Next stop, Oakland and San Francisco...baseball, anyone?
