My friend Grace and I took our boys on an adventure in Sacramento. She found a company called Urban Adventure Quest that has different adventures in cities across the nation. All you need is a smart phone with internet, and someone to write out the clues/puzzles in a notebook.
Our team name: SUPER MEGA ULTRA PANDA SWAT TEAM
The quest is a walking tour that begins near the capitol. There are 17 challenges you figure out. Points are made for correct answers, deducted for incorrect, some and there is an online leaderboard that keeps track of the points. You can also race for time against other teams. We choose not to race the clock so we could enjoy what we were doing.
One of the most beautiful, creative, adventurous, fun, friends I know…Grace.
This quest taught us California history, Sacramento history, war history, local culture, public art…
At the Vietnam memorial…
Sweet ‘R’ loves to capture pieces of nature. He wanted me to take a photo of this flower he found..
Inside the capitol, there are corridors that have display cases representing all of the counties. Here, the boys are standing in front of our county, Place county…
…and in front of the Governor’s office…
The rotunda…
We were in a time crunch and did not get to complete the quest, but we did have time for a fantastic pub lunch at the Fox and Goose.
