sacramento trip

We went down to Sacrament to Jodi's wedding. She is Michelle's friend from Banning and they've known each other since girl scout. On the way down, we flew over Crater lake, it was really cool to see it from the plane.

I got a sport coat on sale from Macy, like it? Oh yeah, Jodi and Matt got a really really great champagne from Frasenettis. It has a nice almond taste to it, Nik you should look at this. It was really good and cheap $13 a bottle.

Michelle can't kiss on camera

Michelle and her multi racial family. just kidding, these are our table mates.
Joe at the old governor mansion.
Grizzly bear at the California capitol building. We took a tour, it was very nice.
Arnold's office.

We went to Old town Sacramento afterward and walked around a bit. It was so hot, probably high 80s. We're not use to the heat anymore. This is at Joe's crab shack. I got the crab pot, it had half dungeness crab, half snow crab, 6-7 shrimps, a sausage, corn and potatoes. It was good, but it got more and more salty as you keep eating. Afterward we went to a mall to hide from the heat. Then left to go to the airport early to take a rest.

Full Bloom at the Japanese memorial park

After the car wash, I went to Macy to get a new pan, a shirt and a corduroy jeans. Then went to pick Michelle up and went to buy a few things from Trader Joe's and PetCo. Michelle wanted to try a Korean restaurant across from PetCo. It was called Country Korean Kitchen. We had Soon Dofu and spicy pork bulgoki. They brought out a bunch of chap chae side dishes. The Soon Dofu soup was really good too. We filled up and went home to take a nap. Michelle was out for a long time and I snoozed under the Kotatsu table.
So we decided to go see the Cherry blossoms again because Michelle saw them in full blooms from the train.

This is "Shanghai Bay" where they used to Shanghai (kidnap) people from bars and put them on a ship to work as a sailor in the old days.

Michelle decided to bust out her colorful scarf. It was windy today too.


Full blooms, very nice.
The star of this show again. 8)

Joe is a cool guy.
whoa! you surprised me.

A good pedestrian took a picture for us. See, I am taller than Michelle ever with her high heels.
