I tell people I have the hardest job in the world. I have to convince people that Sacramento is a great destination and they should visit. Don’t worry, this isn’t a blog post about why you should visit Sacramento, it isn’t even a blog post about my job. This is actually a blog post about me not going to my job while I’m on vacation and sticking around to do all the things I regularly encourage others to do.

I have a few criteria. What I choose to do on my staycation must include any one of the following in any combination:

• Physical activity
• Relaxation
• Good food
• Good drinks
• Do something I haven’t done before
• Do something I haven’t done in a long time
• Do something productive
• Take all the pictures

And, in no particular order, here is what has made the list so far:

• Asha Bathhouse
• Hot Yoga at Sunrise
• Hiking at Mt Tallac
• Daytrip to: Truckee, Virginia City, Volcano, or San Francisco
• Visit a historic cemetery
• Swabbie’s on the River
• Cantina Alley
• Wide Open Walls walking tour
• Sacramento River Train
• Badfish Coffee

All this is dependent upon whether or not I have jury duty though, soooo WISH ME LUCK!

If you ever find yourself in the area, hit these links up! I’m actually excited to be exploring the world right here around me. Maybe this little city really is a cool place to visit.
