Myrl, I think you hit them all!  Nice job compiling the list.  It reminds me of when I was growing up years ago.  My mother would reserve Wednesday's to take the kids to one of those attractions.  The rest of the week we stepped outside after breakfast and only returned for lunch and dinner.  At sunset, my Dad would step outside and yell, "It's Goodnight Marie, all Machado's inside!"  Then we took our turn taking showers and went to bed.

Robert: Your idylic Wednesdays made delightful memories for you I'm sure!

What was your favorite Robert?  One of my earliest memories is climbing up the little hill in William Land Park to the Charles Swanston statue.  It's across from the zoo, and next to Fairytale Town.  I must have been about 2 years old.  I won't tell you how long ago that was, other than to say that Fairytale Town was built about the time of my first born:-) 

I've been in Sacramento all my life, I've seen most of those museums and attractions at one time or another.
