I wonder if a lot of places were closed because of it being a weekday? What is so sad to me is how the economy has hit everyone. A lot of stores closed down and others made to only be open a few days, mostly the weekends. We ran into that all over. As well as towns shutting down early.....
Oh, I forgot you guys have the mini!!! OOOOOO!!!! I so want to rent one for a road trip. But, with 3 kids, it ain't too practical, eh?
Sutter Creek~is this the place with the big gold mine? We also panned for gold there {if it is the place}.
Did you find {buy} any antiques?

All I bought on our trip was a silver ring.....in a gold mining town. Oh well.
You {Lashbear and Alex} are too funny.
