We met the bus at school at 5am, had a 7:10am flight from Burbank, hit the ground running once we landed, and had a 6:00pm flight home. It was a long and exhausting day...just getting a bunch of very excited 4th graders through security was worth a nap...but we had a blast. There were four kids on the trip who had never been on a plane before!
We visited Sutters Mill and saw where gold was first discovered in the American River, learned about the gold rush and various roles people had, panned for gold, met a mountain man who talked about life before statehood in California and in the mountains, learned how to throw an ax, visited the state capitol, learned about California democracy, saw the Vietnam memorial where one kid found his family, went to the railroad museum, saw the duplicate gold spike, walked around old town Sacramento, and had dinner. It was a full day!
