After school today, we headed over to Freeport Bakery in the charming Land Park area for a festive treat. The kids could not have been more excited about the Halloween cookies and cupcakes they had to choose from! They each settled on a different cupcake and had to be hushed when they kept shouting “Happy Halloween!” as they sat down at the cute cafe table.
Besides being adorable, the cupcakes were moist and delicious! I was allowed a bite of each of the kids’ cupcakes and left wondering why I didn’t order my own. Darn, we will just have to go back soon! I think that we will be making a trip to Freeport Bakery around each holiday a tradition from now on. Celebrating the coming of Halloween inside this cozy bakery was a memorable experience!
Tip: The kids were on quite a sugar high when we left so we headed over to the William Land Park playground which is just a mile away. This made a great afternoon outing! If you aren’t familiar with the area, here are directions to the playground: From Freeport Bakery, head South on Freeport. Turn Right on 8th Ave., Left on Land Park Dr., Slight Right onto 13th Ave.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
