As I write this, we’ve had an onslaught of rainy days in Sacramento and the forecast shows more to come. Although it is fun to curl up with a book or a movie on a rainy day, sometimes you just need to get out of the house! Especially if you have toddlers, kids or teens that are getting bored. I’ve gathered up a dozen indoor places to go when you want to have fun while staying dry!
