Old Sacramento: I Like Trains!

Old Sacramento, the historic waterfront district and National Historic Landmark, offers up a fun adventure for families and history nerds alike. We learned so much about California history and the trans-continental railroad's impact on the culture and economy of the Golden State at the California State Railroad Museum. All aboard!

The London Pass

To help keep costs down, we utilized the London Pass with the Oyster travelcard to save on activities and transportation. We used it for admission into the Churchill War Rooms, Westminster Abbey, and more. Another advantage was that it included activities not originally on our itinerary, like the Shard, from which there are stunning views of the city at night.
