When I was younger I had a very spontaneous attitude. If I wanted to do something or go somewhere there was a 99.9% chance that I was going to do it. I don't have the opportunity to be that way at 36 years of age. I'd LOVE to be able to drop everything and go on a road trip...or call in sick to work and spend the day playing instead...but life's responsibilities prevent me from living that way. However...whenever I can I try to find things to do or places to venture simply to obtain an ounce of sanity.
This weekend, I decided to take a day and spend it with my parents. (something I haven't done in quite some time)
We decided to take a little drive to a place called Daffodil Hill. (my mom has wanted to go there for a few years now, and it sounded pretty)
On the way we stopped at this little old town called Volcano.
It was late morning, so we decided to stop in a little shop and grab a bite to eat...
After this quick stop we made our way to Daffodil Hill...
Don't know who these people are...but thought they looked like a happy couple and decided to take their picture. :)
So that's Daffodil Hill...next stop, Sutter Creek.
What a cute little town, with the greatest collectible shops ever!
I wish I would have bought this next item...I've been kicking myself ever since. Always go with your gut!
We grabbed a bite to eat at this cute little restaurant before we left. (notice the expression of joy I captured on my dad's face!)
Our last stop was another old mining town, Amador City.
(these are not real....)
They had a little train set that wasn't operating at the time we were there, and looked like it hadn't run in quite some time but it was so intricately set up....very detailed
I really enjoyed spending the day with my parents...and to end the afternoon together we decided to splurge...
