🇺🇸 Sacramento 2-Day Trip | Weekend Getaway from the Bay Area

Day 1 Arrived around noon after a 2-hour drive from the Bay – first stop: food! 🍜 Went to Top Choice Guilin Noodles – tried the classic Guilin rice noodles – delicious and authentic! 🛤️ California State Railroad Museum Didn’t expect a “train exhibit” to be this fun! The museum is huge, with many train cars you can actually board. We joined a volunteer-led tour – way more engaging than exploring alone! 🚂🧳 We also wanted to check out the vintage printing press demo + DIY letterpress experience at the Sacramento History Museum (just a 5-min walk), but the volunteer only does demos on Tuesdays and Thursdays 😢. Still bought some letterpress postcards – and the clerk gave me a free one since I followed them on Instagram! 📬✨ 🌆 Old Sacramento Stepped right into the 19th century with cobblestone streets, wooden buildings, and even horse carriages! 🐎🪙 Lots of cute shops selling souvenirs and candy 🍭 – super photogenic! Also stopped by Scorpio Coffee for a caffeine boost ☕️. 🏀 NBA Game at Golden 1 Center The atmosphere was electric! ⚡️ Even if you’re not a basketball fan, the energy from the crowd and live performances outside the arena will get you pumped. Totally worth it! 🎶🏀 Day 2 🏛️ California State Capitol The classic white-domed building is open to the public – feels like a mini Capitol Hill inside! 🏛️✨ Formal and impressive. 🍛 Lunch at The Flame Cafe (Hong Kong-style diner) Ordered Three Cup Chicken and a cute bear-shaped milk tea 🧋🐻 – both great! Seafood pasta tasted a bit like pre-made food though… not the best. ☕️ Temple Coffee Roasters Stopped by this industrial-chic café for a break. Their beans are aromatic – perfect for recharging! 🔋📸 #SacramentoKings #SacramentoEats #WeekendInSac #BayAreaWeekends #CaliforniaTravel
