West Coast Enchantment

Nature beckoned us to take a short trip along the west coast . . .

Losing our way to the lighthouse we stumbled upon a remote bird observatory . . .

A trail-head led us into an enchanted elf and fairy realm . . .

And it appears we were being observed by a curious elemental . . .

Lets just take a closer look . . .

The entire area was populated with Elvin homes, some big enough that we could fit into them ourselves . . .

This was definitely the place to find some nature magic . . .

Juice Fast, Day 5

Mid-Life Fun!

So I asked the "Good Neighbors of Roseville" for some ideas on how mid-lifer's in our area can have some inexpensive fun. While some of these were not so inexpensive, the colorful variety resonates so much fun!

• Visit some local wineries- particularly the Placer County Wine Trail- I was concerned about having an appointed driver and was informed that there is a small bus that drives you around. The Old Sugar Mill Winery in Sacramento was also suggested. 
• Sacramento River Boat Cruise- There is also a stationary "Murder Mystery' dinner where you can become part of the crime scene.
• The Tokyo Steak House was recommended as a unique and flavorful experience that is reasonably priced. 
• Ice Skating
• Bowling
• The all-new 'Studio Movie Grill' in Rocklin, serves dinner while you watch a movie
• Sky High- bounce house
• Indoor Race Cars
• Miniature golf
• Lazer tag
• Horse Back Riding in Granite Bay or Gibson Ranch
• Bike ride; try the trail from Lake Natoma all the way down to Sacramento
• Wine and Paint
• Take the train to San Francisco for the day
• Find other couples to switch off hosting a game night with differing ethnic food themes
• Visit the Opera House in Roseville. They offer dance classes  
• Food-truck night down town Roseville, the fourth Thursday each month
• House of Oliver, for dinner and live Jazz music
• Paint and Wine
• "The Place" is an Italian Restaurant - first Thursday of the month offers free appetizers with purchase of drinks and live Jazz music.
• Kayaking at Lake Natoma
• Roller Skating
• Indoor rock climbing
• Petroglyph in Roseville-
• Hiking to one of the many beautiful waterfalls in our area
• A drive and picnic in a local wildlife refuge such as Grey Lodge
• Last but not least, here is a link with 100 great and inexpensive date-night ideas!

So glad I asked that question. This year may just well be a year of new experiences!
