Next up, a drive to Old Fair Oaks to see the roosters and walk around the town. It was amazing. We actually saw roosters (or chickens?) crossing the road. A car had to stop to let the chicken cross and another car came up from behind and starting blaring on his horn.
There wasn't just one or two roosters, but there were over twenty that we saw. The old town itself was just two short blocks so we walked around the back side and saw even more chickens. One was hanging out on a tree branch, pretending to be a flying bird.
The old town itself was cute and quaint, but we arrived right before 10am and most of the shops weren't open. One of them had the funniest sign in the window letting us know exactly when to expect the shop to open.
Walking through the residential part of old Fair Oaks, we happened upon an interesting house. It looked to be owned by an artist for part of the house was a studio. I desperately wished I lived there.
After stopping for a cup of coffee, we headed back towards old Folsom. Eliz stopped to show me a statue of a rooster in Fair Oaks. It was pretty and gaudy at the same time.
Similar to the day before in San Francisco, the weather was cool, but the skies were clear, bright, sunny and blue with puffy clouds all about. I was in heaven. On the way to Folsom, we stopped at a park near the river.
I've loved old Folsom from the first moment I saw it years ago. I'm always sure to stop there. Things have changed a little, but it's still my favorite place.
After some ice cream at Snooks, we went back home to get ready for dinner and our painting session at The Painted Cork.
The drive there was so beautiful.
Dinner at Chicago Fire, once again, did not disappoint, but the best part of the evening was at The Painted Cork. It was a blast!! And who knew how talented Eliz is with the paint brush??
While mine will NOT be put on auction on eBay after all :)
