As we were preparing to drive to Sacramento, Courtney looked out toward the lake from our dining room with her cool hat and shades. I couldn't resist taking the shot:

Back to the day in Old Sacramento. From the Railroad Museum we walked directly across the railroad grassy area to Fat City for lunch, followed by a walk along the Sacramento River to see the action.

Bridge completely open, Spirit of Sacramento comes toward us. |

Then we returned to the Old Sacramento streets for ice cream cones and to wander the stores. While the rest searched for "good stuff" in a large novelty store I just gawked in wonderment at the tacky stuff. My camera gravitated to some of the tackiest.

Classically tacky. |
 |
|
Chic tacky. |
|
|
| Disgusting tacky: bad taste for its own sake. |
 |
|
Self-made tacky: Mary and yours truly. |
