Today we headed back to Old Town Sacramento. We visited the history museum. Outside the museum they have the equipment that was used to realign the river after the flood of 1861.
The kids had fun playing with the props they had. :-)
We took a tour of underground Sacramento. Unfortunately they don't allow photos underground. Our guide was dressed in period attire and one of our above ground stops was outside a building made of wood and canvas as they had done back before the flood. They were sneaky and when boats came in and everyone got off and went about their way, others went onto their ships and took them apart to build the town, and when the boats owners returned their boats had vanished...
After the tour we had lunch outside and got to see the bridge move to allow a boat to go through.
Very fun to see.
One of Anna's requests was to visit the school house. We tried to yesterday but it was closed for a group. Today it was open and the kids enjoyed exploring. I don't think they liked the rules they would have had to follow if they had been a student. And I surely wouldn't like the rules if I was a teacher there!
We went for a walk across a yellow bridge and enjoyed this sculpture bench.
It was a really enjoyable day and a we really enjoyed our visit to Sacramento!
