You don't have to drive very far to find adventure around here.
We took the miniest of vacations for Spring Break – a Tuesday morning drive, a bit of spelunking, dinner out, hotel, Wednesday morning at a gold mine, picnic lunch, and home in time for soccer practice. Here are a few of the highlights:
Making our way through California Caverns near Angels Camp:
Exploring the old (and tiny) town of Amador "City":
It would be cooler if there were no cars....
Cruising down to learn about gold mining in Sutter Creek:
Panning for gold:
Eureka!!!
Clara's gold strike wasn't quite enough to send us to Tahiti for the rest of the week, but we proved that we can pack a lot of fun family time into 30 hours, especially when we are at least two counties away from household responsibilities.
