Floating The American River

Map image

Who knew that you could float the American River from Folsom to Sacramento sitting in an innertube?!  I guess Andi and Jeffrey did, they took us down the river on Saturday, lots of fun.  You’d definitely feel out of place without a cooler full of beer floating down the river with you…  We forgot our camera, but luckily Jeffrey had his along with us and we managed to snap some shots. 

Finished the day up with an amazing dinner at Zocalo Mexican restaurant, it was worth the hour-and-a-half wait.  I think I’ll be remembering that carnitas for some time to come…
