Check out this easy Road Trip just outside of Sacramento!
Sometimes, you just got to get in the car and drive! I know it's tough to do these days with gas prices, but just about 20 miles east of Sacramento, this beautiful drive is a must! We often make this drive on our way from Roseville to Murphys and Arnold. On this trip, we were exploring some wineries in Amador County. This video is just about the drive, so, sit back and enjoy the scenery, and make a road trip for yourselves!
