Mom, Dad and Sarah drove from Dixon to Sacramento early Friday morning.  The "Sacramento" temple is actually in a community on the other side, east of Sacramento.  The setting is one of the most serene and expansive of  any such placement anywhere.  The interior is exceptional, done in silvery cool blues and deep cherry wood. Following a session the group sat and completed Sarah's most recent reading of the Book Of Mormon,  (quite literally in the shadow of Moroni's trump), Moroni Chapter 10, "I would exhort you... that you should remember how merciful the Lord has been unto the children of men... and... lay hold upon every good gift."

Driving west from the temple went right through downtown Sacramento and prompted a stop at the state capitol building.  The evening was spent visiting some fine families in the little town of Esparto, part of the Winter's ward.  (Sorry we didn't take any photo's we were so busy having so much fun.)

The tile reminded us of the fireplace surround at 336.
