I received an email the other day from a new member who was wondering why I hadn’t added a specific museum to the site. The answer was simply because the site is new and I hadn’t gotten to it yet. While I would love to add everything there is to do in Sacramento in a day, it’s just not possible. I try to provide at least one new activity or place to explore every day. Sometimes I can add more. Sometimes I may get tied up, or need a day off. In any event, I do have a couple lists I refer to when choosing the next topic to post, but I will always welcome suggestions. So, if you have any, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Also, be sure to register, so you can post comments, which will allow you to provide feedback on articles posted. You can also use comments to suggest similar activities that may not have been posted yet.
