Whenever I have a bad day, my first instinct is to get away. When I was in high school, I used to drive out towards Redding. First, I'd stop at the outlets in Anderson, then I would just drive around Redding until it got dark and would drive back home. Once I moved into Chico, I would drive on the outskirts of towns and until I stopped recognizing where I was.
This morning everything I had been dealing with just sort of came up all at once. I felt that urge to get in my car and drive. Colin wanted to come along, which, was something new for me. Normally, these drives were a solo thing for me. But there's something about Colin that makes me want to share things like that with him. I guess that's a sign of true love, eh?

After getting some internet advice on neat places to drive around Sacramento I headed up Freeport Blvd. toward the Delta.



The only thing left there seems to be a Pear Fair that happens in July. We found an abandoned building that was insanely gorgeous. After nosing around, we figured out it looked as if there was a bank inside it at one point, and maybe a museum before that? It was gorgeous, the architecture amazed me.

Not too far away was this Masonic Hall. Empty and neglected, I still found it beautiful. I wish I could renovate and live in it. It was for sale strangely. I wish I had funds to buy it.

We finished off the day by eating the Vegan Blueberry & Sprinkle donuts we had gotten from Sugar Plum Cafe. We found a nice spot that was on a turnout off of 160. The donuts were delicious.
