We just got back from our week long trip to Sacramento, First photo stop (this is a photo journal) of the trip was Donner Lake. I had driven past Donner Lake dozens of times but this was the first time we actually stopped. The kids had fun tossing rocks into the lake while we stretched our legs for a bit before we headed down the sierras to SacTown.

The next day we made a trip to the California Train Museum. Such an awesome place, the kids obviously had a ball checking out the trains and of course the huge Thomas the Train set was that biggest hit of the day.

My HDR shots did not turn out well due to low light and lack of a tripod but a few turned out ok.

A few days later we made a trip down to the Bay Area and Traveled along Highway 1. The first stop on our day trip was Muir Woods.

Next we drove towards the coast and stopped at the Muir Beach Overlook.

Next we headed north to Bolinas to spend the afternoon at Agate Beach. Excellent tide pools that were very kid friendly.

After we spent the bulk of our afternoon on Agate beach we packed up and drove south along highway 1 to Muir Beach. We made it just in time for the sunset.

I had the option to pick up some extra hours at work on the Friday after Thanksgiving while April and Kids went up to her parents house. It rained off and on during the day so I was skeptical of how the weather would work out, to make matters worse Randy canceled due to a case of food poisoning. After work I drove alone towards the temple and things really started clear up the sky was near perfect. Mud was was full effect while I hiked out to the waters edge. I slowly wandered my way to shot some reflection shots of the sunset.
