While our anniversary is not till Tuesday we took our trip on the 4th. Chris decided to surprise me with a trip to Sacramento! We walked around Old Town then over to the downtown mall. We had gyros at the greek resteraunt. We drove over to the IMAX theater and watched "Dinosaurs Alive!" then walked across the street to look at the capitol building. The IMAX was pricey but very cool. I found myself reaching out to touch the dino skeleton! It really did look as if you were there and not watching a flat screen. The screen is 6 stories high and 80 feet wide!!!
It was still early so we checked out the zoo, which was pretty small but still fun! Chris loved the reptile house which also had amphibians. We had alot of fun just spending time together without a schedule. We had nothing that had to get done.
On our way home we stopped for ice cream and later for olives. We visited the Olive Pit in Corning and tasted different olives and bread dips. On returning to Redding we stopped at a friends for a barbecue then headed home to bed. We really had an enjoyable day. We don't get to do this kind of thing very often but when we do it is special.
