Life with Boose and Finch

We drove through the rain to Sacramento stopping only once because Ro didn't tell us he needed to use the bathroom until it was too late.  Once we got that figured out, the rest was pretty smooth sailing.  We stayed on the 7th floor of the Hyatt Regency across from Capitol Park.  For the most part, Ro was pretty good all week except for when he was really tired (unfortunately, that was most of the time).  He still doesn't quite understand hotel etiquette such as not running/stomping around the hotel room, or shouting.  The main problem with his little kid voice is that the high pitch is loud no matter what volume he speaks.  So, he had a hard time remembering that he needed to speak softer or whisper at night.  I think we might take him on another trip again.  While B was in his conference classes, Ro and I roamed around downtown Sacramento, Old Sacramento, and Sutter's Fort.  The first thing we did Monday was check out an umbrella from th...
