In the car on the way to the airport, Bappa and I told Della we were taking her on a surprise trip to Sacramento. She said, “I’m super excited in my heart!”, “You guys are super nice!”, and “I’m super excited! Eee!” 

Sacramento is normally a mythical place where only grown-ups go. The kids have imaginary houses here. 

This is the house where Nanny Rosie grew up and where I used to visit my grandparents.

It has always been a messy and magical place.

We went to the Sacramento Zoo.

We went to Fairytale Town.

We walked the Crooked Mile.

We nurseried.

We planted citrus.

We alpaca farmed.

We sang and we sillied.

Best daughter ever.
