Trip to Sacramento - Week One - Friday, January 5 - Friday, January 12, 2018

The weather in Buffalo was not very nice - snowy and 6 degrees when we left - but even though our flight was delayed in leaving we were able to make our connection in Charlotte. On our flight there were many Bills fans making their way to the game on Sunday - too bad that they would go home disappointed. We arrived in Sacramento on time and were greeted by Christine, Jason and CJ along with the 50 degree weather. We went to their house and had a delicious dinner.

Usually I blog daily about our sightseeing highlights but this one will be different. We have mostly had quiet days trying to help out Chris and Jason with any projects around the house and trying to make their days easier helping with CJ. For the most part we have taken and picked Carol up from daycare. It is only 3 blocks away so when it's not raining we walk her. We take her later and pick her up earlier so that we have some extra time with her and we even kept her home on Friday. We are enjoying having the chance to read to her, play peek-a-boo, teaching her to know her toes, nose, ears, etc. It's those little things that we miss being so far away. We have taken CJ to the store (Costco and Food Source) to buy our groceries for dinner and she likes to be in the kitchen while Grandma is preparing it.

On Sunday we watched the Bills game - unfortunately the result wasn't what we wanted. Ron and I will be in Australia for the Super Bowl anyway so we won't have to worry about missing anything. Jason cooked corned beef and cabbage and Alex and Jason's Mom, Brenda, came and joined us for dinner.

On Thursday Ron and I walked to Maya Taqueria and had a delicious lunch. It is one of the many
nearby Mexican restaurants. We kept going and went to the iconic Tower Theater to see the movie
Lady Bird. As it had won some Golden Globe awards, as the director was from Sacramento, as it
was set in Sac and showed some of Sac's famous landmarks it seemed like the perfect movie to se. We enjoyed it and I could also relate to the Catholic High School references.

Friday we took a short trip to Target. We try to work our trips around CJ's nap schedule. Only bought a couple of things but that was fine.


Always a happy baby
   

CJ is busy all the time


Well  - Almost all the time

CJ loves the new chair that Daddy bought for her!

This chair does so many neat things

I told you I know where my nose is!

How do you like my outfit?

I may be a little peanut but it doesn't stop me at all!
