Tourism:
With wine country only 60 miles away from Sacramento, California, this city almost seems a picture perfect mix of things to do. Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley house hundreds of vineyards along the picturesque countryside.

Or if you don’t like wine, you can just visit these gorgeous Californian hotspots and enjoy the temperate weather and hot sun.

• Sacramento’s first baseball team was called the Solons. The children of Sacramento loved the team and were notorious for sneaking out of school and watching the games through the knotholes in the board fence at the back of the team’s field. To prevent this, the schools cut a deal with the team managers to issue passes for “The Knothole Gang,” which allowed the children to sit in the upper level after the third inning (which was when school let out).
