An Evening in Old Sac

I have a family photoshoot tomorrow. One of the places I plan to take them to is Old Sacramento. I actually haven't been there for a long time so I thought I'd check it out tonight to prepare myself. I forgot how festive Sacramento can be until I saw everyone out and about in Old Sac. While I was walking around with Jixer, high school seniors pulled up for proms and posed for photos by the old trains as their parents snapped away on their cell phones. People were pouring into the Delta King and Joe's Crab Shack for dinner and drinks. There was music blasting so loudly that I thought there was a concert going on at first. End up it was just a boat cruised by with 80's music blasting on the speaker. Despite everything else that was going on, life is good! 

Note to self: Get out to discover Sac more. Since we live in this city, I think we forget that it is a destination  that others come to visit. Jixer and I spent a good 2 hours there today. I had a good time watching people. Jixer had a good time having people oohhh-ing and ahhh-ing over how cute he is. =)  Enjoy the photos. 

  

Sunday FunDay at Lake Berryessa

Today Jeff and Henry went bicycling out in Lake Berryessa so Jackie and I tagged along for the scenery. The weather was perfect! 70 degree, sunny and breezy. Other than having lots of dog poops near the picnic area, it was beautiful. (Btw, dogs were allowed in the park so this would only make sense.) There was even a sketch where lots and lots of blue/violet flowers were blooming all around. With me being who I am when it comes to flowers, I was all over them. hehe.. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Jackie has the prettiest smile ever!

The lighting and edit here make the flowers look like they were painted on, don't you agree?   Love it!

 I heard somewhere that if a man is good to his pet, he will be good with his kids as well.  Is that true or was I totally making that up? 

These two, all they know is to hit and push when they walk next to each other. In the end, I told Jeff to give Jackie a piggy back ride. Sure enough, I got my action shot right away! :)

This next one has to be one of my favorites. It looks like Jeff was straining to keep Jackie up. I don't know why since Jackie is so petite. (hahaha) (Love you, brother in law!)

Happiness held and shared

“Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower.”

Happy Wednesday, lovies!!! There is an interesting quote to consider.

I saw the most beautiful pink flowering tree while driving in Downtown yesterday that I had to stop to take some pictures. I'm not even sure what it is called. I just remember seeing the silk ones being sold at Michael's and Joann. I even used the white ones in the flower boxes for my wedding.
