If you haven't figured it out by now, I LIKE museums! Especially the regional ones...you can learn a lot about a place by visiting the local museum. Some people find museums boring, but not me. I can never know too much about anything.I started by going to The California Museum, which has exhibits about California history. There were also some special exhibits on notable women, Japanese American internment during World War II, and movie costumes and props. I spent about an hour and a half feeding my mind. The next museum I went to, on California military history, was a bit of a disappointment. Other than some nice memorabilia, it was just okay. The last stop of the day was the California Automobile Museum. Now, I've gone to a couple of auto museums on previous road trips... Petersen in Los Angeles and the National in Reno...and this one in Sacramento was equally as impressive. I love the older cars, and they had a fine collection. I take the time to read the informational signs and look over the vintage autos, so it was no surprise that before I knew it, I had spent 2 1/2 hours there. And, THAT is why it's best for me to go alone to museums! I'll definitely be back to Sacramento in the future. There are some other museums that I would like to visit!
Tomorrow, will be long day...8 hours of driving ahead of me! And, I'll be leaving sunny California and returning to the dark, rainy and windy Pacific Northwest. After experiencing so many highs on my road trip, I'm not looking forward to any lows. I'll try not to think about it as I eat the fresh peanut brittle I bought today! Yummy!
