Happy Birthday To ME! 8-15

It was another beautiful day!  The breeze was cool but not unpleasant while we had our breakfast on the deck.  I had decided to go to Old Sacramento for my birthday which worked out well because we had to get the truck to downtown Sac for a little tweak.  The truck took about a half hour and then we cruised on over to Old Sac.  It wasn't at all busy for a summer day, but a lot of kids are back in school so that might have contributed to the low key atmosphere...right up our alley.  We went through the Sacramento Museum and then wandered around.  There are only about three blocks and the architecture is stunningly preserved with boardwalks and the western facades.  We chose to have lunch at the Rio Cafe, a wonderful restaurant on the Sacramento River.  We sat outside where a breeze blew off the water and kept it from being hot and stuffy.  The river is wide and had light boat traffic on it.  We both really enjoyed our meal choices.  Larry had a hamburger with rosemary french fries and I had the special which was penne pasta with chicken sausage, mushrooms, spinach, peppers, herbs and wine sauce.  For dessert we had Chocolate Lava Souffle with ice cream and I had an espresso with it...YUMMY!  We then sauntered up and down the streets and in and out the tight shops and art galleries.  When we had seen everything we headed back up the hill for home.  I thought we might hit horrible traffic as it was about 4 p.m. but we didn't and cruised right along.  It was just a lovely, relaxing enjoyable day.  Cool to live in wild kingdom yet just a short drive to the city!  I received many wonderful Happy Birthday's on Facebook from friends and family today...thank you all.

The following pictures are of birthdays past.  I didn't carry my camera with me today, so none for this year.
