The girls had April 21st off of school, so I took the day off work and we made a daytrip out to Columbia. Corinne’s been learning about California’s gold-mining history this year so I thought she might enjoy Columbia since she doesn’t remember our previous trips.
On the way we stopped at Knights Ferry Recreation Area on the Stanislaus River–which we haven’t done before. Just went down and played at the shore of the river for a bit. Then looked at the bridge (which is closed pending repairs).
Then into Columbia for lunch, wandering about, bowling, candle dipping, and panning for gold.
