Sutter Creek

Wednesday, 5 December 2007

We were planning on going to Lake Tahoe today, but it was super foggy this morning, so we cancelled. It was fine by me because I was super tired from the night (Chase was up every few hours last night). We decided to take drive (45 minutes to an hour)to the old gold mine towns of Amador County, Sutter Creek, and Jackson. There were cute boutiques and cafes, but a bit of a sleepy town for the winter. The highlight of our day was walking in and out of the antique shops and enjoying lunch at Chatterbox Cafe in Sutter Creek. Thankfully, Chris drove because I slept most of the way. Once again, Chase slept through most of the cool things, like our visit to the music box shop. I managed to feed him at each stop though. He did pretty good today.

We got back at 4:30 pm. Gary had picked up Mom from work. Although we were planning on driving up to Sierra Nevada to check out the Charles Dickens' Christmas parade and people in period clothing, we decided to stay home and eat another homecooked meal prepared by Gary.

Just as well because we were able to enjoy dinner while Chase slept, then feed him his oatmeal, bathe him, and then have time for the grandparents to play with him while we washed up.
