We are delighted in being able to host Eric and Gail Buschman for a couple of days this Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately Mr. Weatherman wasn't able to predict a pause or break in the heat spell that we've had this past week. (I think this is our 5th day over 100 degrees so far with three more forecast.) But they did make a good decision about exploring some of the caves in the Gold Country area. The caves stay pretty much at the same temperature (58 deg) year round.Steven and Lisa also dropped in for the weekend so we had a double bonus.
Carolyn and I decided to pass on the cave visits since we didn't know how serious the young kids were going to be about cave exploration. I could just see myself getting stuck on my belly between two caverns or slipping on the mud in the cave passageways and not being able to get back up.
When the group got back, we headed downtown for a tour of the Capitol and Old Sacramento. We got there too late to see the Capitol and by then the temperature was over 104 and we weren't excited about walking around a hot, dusty old town. Instead we ended up walking around Fremont Park, close to Carolyn's work where Chalk It Up was holding a fundraising sidewalk artist event.
Here are just a couple of the pieces of art we saw.
After just a bit more driving around and admiring the houses in the area, we drove over to Ludy's in Woodland for some of the best ribs, sandwiches, and BBQ sauce in the area.
