Favorite Spring Activity?!

Hmmmmmm..... Spring time is here and there are so many things I am looking forward to doing!  First would have to be getting outside more. I love hiking, and with being close to so many great parks and hiking areas (like living within a ten minute walk of the American River), it makes it super easy to soak up some sun!  Second would have to be archery!  I got into shooting archery a few years ago, and with outdoor ranges in Sacramento and El Dorado Hills, I will definitely be out there this Spring! The third thing I am looking forward to is urban exploring and finding new and fun places to eat and enjoy!  Downtown Sacramento has plenty of fun neighborhoods full of new coffee shops, independent bookstores, and eateries that are always great to visit on a Spring Saturday morning!

Let’s see...besides the usual spring activities that I’m sure we’re all excited about like getting outdoors, getting some vitamin D, hiking, exploring, etc., one thing I really enjoy about March is St. Patrick’s Day! Growing up, my Ma always told us we were Irish on her side. (Turns out, thanks to 23andme, we discovered most of her ancestors were actually from just across the way in the UK). Nevertheless, she always went all out for St. Patrick’s Day, including decorations that would usually pop up the day the Valentine’s ones came down, food, drink, and pinching on the day of if we didn’t come out of our rooms in green attire as kids. And we were merciless about it too. 🤏
  
Nowadays, it’s just a fun day and excuse to wear my Guinness shirt, make Irish soda bread from scratch (if you’ve never made it before, it’s SO GOOD), and eat corned beef til I can eat no more.
