I decided I would start with a beach walk, heading to the next town over, Kismet, before making my way to the lighthouse, located within Fire Island National Seashore.
Old Town Sac
I had only been to the state capitol once. This is not something I was proud of. With all the important protests in recent years, I had been to not a single one. Well I was there in spirit at least.I had only been to a conference at a hotel here once, and it was not even downtown. Enough said, it was time to see old town Sacramento. I had been intrigued by this place for a long time, after learning about it in history books, and in documentaries on the old west. The Transcontinental Railway begins there, and there are so many things that have happened here over the years.
