My husband and I did a day, date trip to have lunch in Sacramento and since we enjoy the train, that's the route we took. The train station is conveniently located just a few blocks from Old Towne Sacramento and we had a few hours to walk around, go into the numerous shops, have lunch, and just hang out before heading back to the train depot. Also, on the same block, actually the same parking lot, there is a Starbucks as well so it was a win, win, win day. I definitely recommend making a trip of it for a lunch/dinner date and hanging out for a few hours. It was a great day. .. (PS...we took the train from Hanford and I was unaware when I booked the tickets that we got off the train in Stockton to board a bus which took us to Sacramento. Oh well, it made our date a little more interesting! ) read more
