Today we thought it would be fun to take Drew to Old Sacramento via the light rail to buy some salt water taffy! He's never actually been on the light rail before, he had just been obsessing about it from afar :) The ride was approximately one hour to get to downtown Sacramento and every time the train slowed down he got this confused look on his face and asked "why's the train slowing down, mommy?" and EVERY time I explained it was because other people wanted to ride it too (he knew the answer, he just found it funny to keep asking). We got off right in front of the K Street Mall and headed through a tunnel with beautiful artwork all down the sides (Drew's favorite piece is in the picture) to get to Old Town. We saw a man sitting, playing his guitar & singing so I gave Drew a dollar for him to drop into the man's hat (Drew liked that the man thanked him in song form). We checked out some of the shops and stopped to have sandwiches...at the Train Depot Cafe (shocked, right??) and then headed to the candy shop! Barrels and barrels of salt water taffy called to Drew and he took his bucket and like it was Halloween, added the candy to his growing stash. $15 in saltwater taffy later, it was time to head back to the train to take us back to Folsom! It was perfect timing because Drew was definitely ready for his nap when we got home!
