Looking for something fun and different- we've got ideas for you!
See great Shakespeare without the Ashland prices- Natomas Charter School's Performing and Fine Arts Academy does MacBeth this weekend. General admission is $16 and group discounts for 5 or more tickets is 15% off. Support local theatre and be truly wowed by the talent of high school students. You'll think you're in a professional productino.
Hear beautiful music- Catch the Regina Carter quintet. If jazz and classical violin is your style, you should be at Mondavi Center tomorrow evening.
Watch robot wars- If violins aren't your style but you still want to go to Davis this weekend, check out the FIRST robotics competition at UC Davis.
Hunt for eggs- Take the kids out and hunt for eggs at local parks. Or go really nuts and head to Rancho Cordova for a huge egg hunt, live music, craft fair and more.
Sample a spot of tea- at the Fair Oaks Library. If you have the kids, check out one of the many library storytimes at libraries around the region.

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. Check out River Rat Rentals and American River Raft Rentals for more info.
