If you are looking for fun, education, and fabulous views, cruise to the infamous and notorious former federal prison of Alcatraz, home to the likes of Al Capone. It's a National Park, and they offer an orientation video with historical footage, self-guided walks, exhibits and talks on topics such as "Famous Escapes." They also have actual interviews of former guards and inmates .
To reach the Cell House, you must walk up a steep hill. In addition to the famous prison, Alcatraz features some of the most spectacular views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate from the beautifully landscaped Agave Trail. A walk along the trail winds through a protected bird sanctuary, ending at a stone stairway which leads to the parade ground, formerly ringed by the houses of guards and their families. Fun for the whole family, it takes about 3 hours for the whole thing. Enjoy!!

Wonderful service, beautiful rooms, excellent food. Perfect for honeymooners, or anyone seeking a romantic getaway. A must see!!!

Just a few blocks away from my favorite fishy store is the O Street Aquarium. If you are into saltwater fish, they have some neat reef and/or coral tanks to peek at. However, the isles are EXTREMELY cramped, and some of the fish didn't look so good. I did not purchase any fish. I did purchase some goods, and the staff was friendly. They had aquariums, but they were over priced. Interesting to check out, but I wouldn't necessarily go back.

As a relatively new aquarist, I have found a wonderful, though small, fishy shop - Aqualife in Rocklin, CA. Located off of Taylor Rd, you might miss it if you blink (which would be a tragedy!!) The fish are well cared for, and though their selection is small, the staff are friendly and helpful. They have some fabulous sales on aquariums if you can be patient. They also host a service where they can come to your home or business and clean your own fish tanks for a fee. They only have a 3 day life fish guarantee, but their selection is healthy. Highly recommend!!

Welcome to Alta Sierra Biblical Gardens!! This wondrous, yet simple place off the beaten path is a fabulous place to check out!!! It is Christian based, so there are a lot of Christian symbols, etc. here. There is a lovely creek that flows peacefully through. Visitors may walk through and check things out. There are even weddings here!! The seating is tougher for folks that have a tough time walking. Overall, it's a beautiful, peaceful stop along highway 49.

If you live in or around the Rocklin area, you will be delighted with the superb service you are sure to receive at Rocklin Road Animal Hospital!! Over the years, I have had various pets go in for various maladies, and have always been pleased with the special vet techs and vets on staff. They are willing to be available for questions, and are a wonderful shoulder to cry on (heaven forbid one should need this.) I highly recommend this vet's office!! :)

Empire Mine and State Park is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierra Nevada foothills!!! I have attended several weddings here, and folks talking the walk down the isle of wedded bliss have many a beautiful spot to choose from!! The autumn is especially lovely here. They have guided tours of the grounds, including the home that was occupied by the owners of the mine. The tour will leave you feeling amazed!! The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful as well. Highly recommend for all ages!!!!

If you are looking to be the bride or groom and want a fabulous place to get hitched, you've got to see Auburn Valley Country Club!! Located in the beautiful, scenic Sierra Nevada foothills, you won't be disappointed with the views or the service!! The food they serve is fantastic (you can get a buffet or sit down meal - I've gotten both at different weddings), and they have a top notch bar. Alaina Russo, the events coordinator, is friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place!! :)

The Sacramento Railroad Museum is an astonishing collection of railroad history - cars, engines, artifacts from trains. It is a journey through the turbulent history of the transcontinental railroad, and it does talk about how important Sacramento was in the big scheme of things. This museum is immense, and located in beautiful old town Sacramento right on the Sacramento River. There is a nice gift shop inside for those mementos. It is a place you can take the whole family - there truly is something for everyone here!!
