We suddenly decided "No time like the present", so we are off to Sacramento to see the grandbabies next week. It was a combination of things. First, I realised it is going to be a LOOOONG time before I am completely better. There is a 3yr 10mo girl whom we saw once for ten minutes while she was an infant, and a 22mo boy whom we have never yet seen. The air fares this month are a LOT cheaper than they will be in the summer, I was noodling around looking them up ten days ago. So we will be there from April 18 to 25. NO Kate, I am NOT taking a sewing machine on the plane!! I have a new piece of knitting set up on a circular needle so I don't poke my seatmates with the needles. I am also taking all my meds, and all dh's as well, and they are going in the hand baggage in case the suitcases get lost.
We have seen most of the touristy places in Sacto, and the object is to spend a week cuddling little ones. There will not be time for a side trip to San Fran this time, or to Berkeley - the furthest we could possibly go would be perhaps Davis - we are not planning to rent a car.
That said, are there by any chance any fabric shops or the like in Sacramento which I should not miss?
