Morning in Sacramento, we started the day
with breakfast at the restaurant on the Delta King before
trekking from Old Sacramento to the Capitol Building and Capitol Park,
passing various sights on the way back to Old Sacramento before checkout time.
From Sacramento we drive through Sausalito, across the Golden Gate Bridge.
We love San Francisco, and we’ve visited “the City” before (view our 2005 trip),
and toured the sights such as the Exploratorium and Palace of Fine Arts,
Chinatown, Coit Tower, and Fort Point,
so, after a pit stop in the Exploratorium parking lot to do some map reading,
we decided to skip San Francisco on this trip.
We wind up at the Mission Inn, Santa Cruz, California.
Milk Farm Restaurant Sign, Dixon, California.
Now entering Sausalito, California.
Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.
Now entering San Francisco, California.
We pull over in the Exploratorium and Palace of Fine Arts parking lot to read the map
for the best route to Pacific Coast Highway 1.
Now entering General Douglas MacArthur Tunnel.
Now entering Santa Cruz, California.
The Mission Inn, Santa Cruz.
We walk to the nearby Mexican restaurant for takeout dinner.
Back at the room we check in with the 2012 Summer Olympics on television
before resting up for our drive further south.
