Second time to Sacramento

When you visit somewhere and it feels so positive, you want to go back.  Such was the case with Sacramento.

We stopped here last year, and they were absolutely warm and inviting.  They made both JeeNee and I feel right at home.  They got us a hotel room, housed our van and drove us over to our room.  In between, we were treated very specially.

To top all of that off, they sent boxes full of Sacramento shirts up to us for last year's shirt drive.  Sacramento is another department that definitely shows their heart through their actions.

This year was no different.  Kelly, Kathy and I all enjoyed every minute of this stop.  And while it was not an overnite for us with them, they packed our day full of fun. 

We visited their fire memorial, and the beautiful military memorials in the park.  Afterwards, they took us for huuuuuge sno-cones.  Perfect touch on a pretty warm day in Sacramento.

I saw a good number of the SFD in Colorado Springs last year, and every one of them was as gracious as if we were at their house.  These are just good people!

Sacramento, we salute you!!!

Shirt drive starts soon.  Looking forward to lots of shirts from you, for our troops.  And be sure to save me a hug if I see you in Colorado Springs.
