The 8th Annual Sacramento Museum Day

Becki has told me the most wonderful news! You might remember back in September we enjoyed the fantastic Admission Day Weekend grand opening of the Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park. Wasn't that awesome? Well, Saturday, February 4 is the 8th Annual Sacramento Museum Day!

It is pretty much the same deal as Admission Day weekend (ie, free admission to all of the museums and historic parks in Sacramento), but it only lasts the one day.


There will be 24(!) museums to check out for free on February 4th. However, the website recommends that we only attempt to see 2 or 3 museums/state historic parks on one day. Apparently any more than that would be too overwhelmingly spectacular.

Governor's Mansion

Apparently the Zoo gets super crowded, so we might not want to check that out on Museum Day. But I think that (for example) going to the Governor's Mansion in the morning, having lunch somewhere (we could bring a picnic), and visiting Sutter's Fort in the pm could possibly live up to the awesomeness that was our trip to the Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park.

Anyway, I am open to suggestions so let me know.
