It's almost back to school- 3 things to do this weekend before it's over

The back to school signs are up, the sales are on and it's almost the end of summer! Even if you don't have kids, there is something about "back to school" that brings you back to reality. Vacations are done, swimsuits are on clearance and pants and coats are on sale. Here are 3 things to do this weekend to pretend that none of this is happening!

* Screen on the Green- The City of Sacramento will be showing "Ghostbusters" on Saturday at sundown at East Portal Park. I highly recommend a late picnic from Selland's Market and a big blanket to watch the movie. Not much else says Sacramento like a picnic and a movie after dark.

*Davis Farmer's Market- Take a short road trip to Davis and hit the Saturday farmer's market. Your tastebuds will thank you and your kids will love the dad-powered carousel in the park. When you're done, wander through downtown and stop in one of the local shops.

*Raft the American- It's not as dangerous as it sounds, even if you've never rafted before. This is not whitewater and the biggest problem you're likely to have is sunburn. Pack up the cooler, take a lunch and spend the day on the water. The alcohol ban has made this a very pleasant and fun family adventure. Without the kids, you'll still have a chance to kick back, relax and daydream about your to-do list you've put off one more weekend.
