Our Trip to Sacramento
Because we were spending the night in the Sacramento area, we didn't have to rush out the door this morning, so while both Lisa and I were up relatively early, we didn't leave until after 8 AM. As planned, we went to the Peppermill for their Saturday buffet brunch, which is a much better value in our opinion than their OTT Sunday brunch. Helping the cost was a $20 rebate credit card I'd received from something a while back but forgotten about. It surfaced recently and I used it to pay toward the cost of the brunch. (Not all places understand how to do partial credit card charges, but I know the Peppermill does.) We certainly got our money's worth from brunch today. In fact, we didn't have any other meals at all today. We waddled out the door around 10:30 and set out for Sacramento.
Although it snowed a little in the Sierra overnight, it didn't affect our travels today. Lisa drove from Reno to Colfax and I read to her from an article in Trains about Union Pacific's snow-fighting operations over the Donner Pass route, and later from the latest issue we have of RAIL magazine. (Albeit that issue is about two months old; two issues showed up at once this past week.)
( Visiting my Sister )
After leaving the nursing facility, we drove to the Fry's Electronics in Sacramento.
( Visiting the Toy Store )
Our final destination tonight was the Hyatt Place Roseville Galleria, near (but as it happens, not near enough) to the Westfield Galleria Roseville Mall.
( +4 for Internet, -3 for the Bathroom )
Not being a Hyatt regular (I still don't know how I ended up with enough points for this stay; it might be left over from points earned from the Calgary Westercon, years ago), it's not all that likely that we'll stay here again. However, if we do, we'll know to put in a specific room request and to carry a box of connectors.
