Leanne is on an away rotation at UC Davis in Sacramento. Since she’s stuck there anyway, we figured why not enjoy both of our free weekends and see the city!

What better way is there to see the city than on an electric scooter! We rented these scooters and zipped all around the city, from the Capitol building, across the famous Sacramento Bridge, to the ballpark, and back. Also during the day had great food, coffees/chais, explored shops, bookstores, and old historic Sacramento neighborhoods.

After eating some delicious vegan food (there are so many vegan restaurants here!) and a couple episodes of Dexter, we called it a night.

Sunday we got up bright and early so we could check out Folsom, CA. We were greeted with a very cute olde tyme city with an extremely lively downtown. All the shops and restaurants were open, there was live music on the streets, and the weather was sunny and beautiful.

We walked around, ate a quinoa burger, got dairy free pibeapple froyo, then headed to the Johnny Cash walking/biking trail! The trail itself was ok, but what was interesting is what it lead to, which was Folsom Prison. Apparently it’s California’s second oldest prison and is still open and active. It’s also famous for being the site where Johnny Cash recorded his hit live album “At Folsom Prison.”

The weekend got over too fast, but don’t they always?
