Last thing to note, it felt safe and was very family friendly.

We decided to go to Fiesta days. As soon as we got there my wife was told she couldn't bring her…read moresmall handbag in. It was 1/2 inch too big. We were told they would be enforcing the clear bag policy. I had to walk back to my vehicle and hide the purse. We went into the park after that and the first thing I was a lady with a black backpack. My wife advised me while waiting for me to get back from the car, a lady walked in with a large purse. The next lady was stopped and told she couldn't bring the purse in. Once inside we noticed numerous large hand bags and backpacks. We noticed that the main entrance was not enforcing the policy. The prices for a small beers are outrages. These are pro sports prices. On the other hand, the band was great. Loved the police presence.

I don't even know what was going on. I just wanted to make a quick stop at the jelly belly factory…read moreand get a couple pounds of my sweet sugar, I am seriously addicted to the chocolate covered cherry dots. So I get near the factory and then I am guided into this dirty parking lot , the car gets dusty, there are particle boards acting as makeshift curbs which allowed you to drive onto the baron dust lot. I was kind of excited, I thought surely the candy festival was going to be a cornucopia of sweet delights. How disappointing It was to walk into the festival and see random vendor after vendor and you look at what they have to offer, it isn't candy, it's cra...fts... Lots and lot of random crafts, like the kind you see at a state fair. No candy from around the world exhibit, no candy education, not even a retro candy pop-up store, I was ready to be hopped up on some of that sweet stuff and alas, not as much as one confection connection was made, and when I saw how long the line as in the store, I left. Boo-Hoo right? I got over it.

We came for the first time on NYE night & could tell that some homes were not as decked out/lit up…read moreanymore & the experience was not full impact. However, there were hardly any cars, so we could do a slow, easy drive. It was still magical with lots of lights throughout this neighborhood. The standout feature was that the streets were lined with continuous strings of white lights that swagged down the participating areas, creating lit paths to follow. It was impressive! There were definitely some houses that went above, while others were more simple, but all delightful to see. Here & there, Christmas trees were in the middle of a court or roundabout. We aren't familiar with the neighborhood & lost track of how we meandered through, so next year we'll try to figure out a good route. We'll definitely plan to come back earlier during the next holiday season to enjoy the full experience.

Rockmont Lights in Natomas is all they say it is and more!…read more My friend, daughter and I wanted to check out Christmas lights last night and decided to check out Rockmont Lights instead of fighting the Fab 40's crowd. It was a first time for all of us and we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived around 7:30pm and it was already pretty busy, but we found some parking on a nearby street. Most of the streets surrounding Java Court were festively decked out and flooded with people - we made our way over to Java Court and I was so surprised to see a massive Christmas tree in the center of the court. There was Santa and The Grinch happily taking photos with families and a couple of fire pits that people were warming up by! They were handing out candy canes to passing cars and I believe they were even selling hot cocoa in front of a few houses! You can drive around the area, but I highly recommend walking it to fully experience the magic that Rockmont Lights has to offer! Make sure you bundle up though! Rockmont Lights definitely gives Dovewood Court and even some streets in the Fab 40's a run for its money! We will be visiting every year now and making it a new tradition!

We had a wonderful time at the Dixon Mayfair. Even though the fair was only in town for a few days,…read moreit was a highlight for my son. He absolutely loves fairs and rides, so we made sure to get the wristband to make it worth it. Because the lines were getting long, we also opted for the fast pass this time, it made things much easier. He got to hit all his favorites: the big slide, the trampoline, several fun mazes, and plenty of coasters. We spent about 4.5 hours there, and while it was a very hot day, we found a few great spots to cool off. The beer garden and the wine tasting area were perfect, they offered plenty of shade where we could sit down and had some tacos. By the end of the day, we were pretty exhausted from the heat, so we were incredibly grateful for the train/bus ride that took us straight to the parking lot. It was the perfect way to end a fun, busy day.

The line was way too long to get in. The cash only for beer is bull shit because they have ATM's everywhere. The food was mid. The beer options were very limited.

We drove over an hour to visit your Araceli Farm lavender farm because we were looking forward to…read moretaking photos in the lavender fields. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the fields were poorly maintained, with a significant amount of weeds, making them unsuitable for photography and very different from what we expected. We did not take the tour because the condition of the property did not meet our expectations. We also waited for the manager to come speak with us, but no one ever came. Given our experience, we respectfully request a full refund for three people. We also believe visitors should not be charged while the fields are in this condition, as they do not provide the experience that is being advertised. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to your response.

Walt from Walt's Adventures adventuring at the Menagerie Hill Ranch in Vacaville, California…read more Life can be interpreted as more fulfilling when filled with adventures. It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

This was a memorable trip. We were originally slated to visit in late June before my birthday but…read moreboth Deb and Kirk were recovering from surgery. We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.
