Columbia











The California foothills are so beautiful, and have so many wonderful places to explore.  We took a day trip to Columbia, an old fashioned mining town that has tried to remain historically accurate to the 1850's.  We had a great time!  We got to visit an old store and an old school house.  The kids loved walking along the downtown and even got to play an old fashioned game of bowling.  When we weren't sure what to do for lunch.....we hit up a saloon and had pizza and beer.  But probably the best part of the day was mining for gold.  The kids loved this!  It was so amazing to pan for gold flakes, and the kids loved finding other pretty rocks and minerals in their pans.
