Today was spent with my son Jay, first taking me out to eat a OUT OF THE PAN on State Street just east of the Root River Bridge, in Racine. The food was OUTSTANDING: I had a most wonderful beef, tomato and blue cheese bruschetta. Jay had a great looking shrimp barbeque sandwich. Mine came with some great side veggie mix and his with a wonderful spring mix walnut and cranberry
salad. I would definitely go there again.Speaking of good places, when Bev and I were in Old Sacramento, CA for lunch at an English Tea Room we enjoyed a combination of dainty sandwiches, scones and dessert samples and a great carafe of tea for each of us. We enjoyed every morsel!
Besides a great lunch, we got to browse through the Chamber of Commerce and felt like we had slipped back in time.
We saw toys, tools, travel boxes, pony express bags, documents, paintings, and this great looking actual stage coach that was on display. This fancy stagecoach was probably very ornate for the day. Perhaps the rich and famous rode in here?
I didn't know that the Pony Express had only been in operation for 18 month! Certainly, it's had a lot of historical coverage for that short period of time! As we left Old Sacramento, right off the downtown area, we looked once again at the Pony Express monument, which I enjoyed.
I have fond memories of that day with my friend Beverly, both of us with cameras in hand, and with satisfied taste buds as well! Be well, Mary
