Sacramento

Next up: Sacramento. It made the list not so much for sightseeing, but for professional reasons as there are a lot of environmental jobs in the city.

We poked around the historic district, which included a good toy store and a huge candy store with free samples. It was definitely a cheesy tourist trap, but fun none the less. We also auto toured downtown and saw the government buildings from the car window.

Monica, Liz’s friend from high school and Ben’s from his DC internship, now lives in Sacramento and kindly hosted us while we were there. It was fun to delve into California’s idiosyncrasies with a fellow mid-westerner. Thanks Monica for the great evening. Hope to see you soon in DC!

We didn’t spend much time in Sacramento, just enough to know that it would be an acceptable place to end up one day.  There isn’t anything special about the city that’s drawing us there, but if a great job happened to come up it could definitely be an option.
