Our family had so much fun exploring Sacramento this year and creating some wonderful memories! We have loved sharing the experiences with you and hope that you have found some fun ideas for your own family.
We’ve picked out some of our favorite adventures from throughout 2010 and here they are:
In JANUARY we had a blast exploring ArtBeast for the first time.

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!
